    Default Bath panel with shelf

    Hi all, 1st post so bare with me!

    Got a bathroom job coming up which involves making a bath panel with a shelf down the length of the bath and at either end. I'll be fixing ceramic tiles that are 40cmx25cm landscape style. This is my 1st bath panel of this kind and was wondering if the preferred option is to build a frame which allows me to tile just under the lip of the bath and then seal. If anyone has any pics of a similar job I would love to see them to help me along. I will take some myself once I start. Got a feeling that building the frame may be a pain!

    Cheers
    Pete

    Hi Pete and welcome, thats pretty straight forward to do, the panel can be set back so that the top of the tile cannot be seen, this helps if water is split over the edge of the bath, I have done them flush a few times and thats been the customers choice, set back looks best I think.
