I Need To Put Some

[tamaris]

Sort of border on the wood at the bottom of my bath. It is getting warped with the bath water. It is not a bath panel proper but just thin wood. I need something I can stick on as I'm not into DIY and I have no one to do it for me. Any ideas ?

[woofgang]

just decorative? to protect it from the water or what?

[woofgang]

sorry, pressed enter too soon. I'd be a bit concerned that if enough bath water is sloshing out to warp the bath panel then it might also be affecting the floor? Last summer a leaking shower door made enough of a problem that I needed a whole chunk of new kitchen ceiling so I'd be doing a bit of checking before you do something cosmetic. I blooming wish I had.

Decorative yes. It looks bad at present. Hopefully something that will help the water to stop eroding it. I had a perfectly good panel and the chap that tidied up my bathroom took the panel and just put wood there instead. It's just like a shiny plywood.

Floor is fine I have large tiles.

Not alot of water TBH over the side but when I wash the floor the wood gets wet as well.

I would get a sheet of outside ply wood, your local DIY shack or builders merchants will cut it to size for you.

[TonyV]

You just need to varnish it or paint with an outside paint

Think you can buy vinyl self adhesive borders from DIY shops like B&Q. Would giving the wood a couple of coats of clear varnish also help?

Tony I only want a border

[tamaris]

Maggiebee I've put white paint on but the edge is crumbling. I will have to ask in shop if they have what you say

[tamborine]

how about granite or reinforced glass thats fitted on kitchen worktops

I am an old lady I am not able to do this on my own.

[TonyV]

Tamarins what size are you looking for?

[tamaris]

A border

[TonyV]

But what measurements, if your not good at DIY, I'd get a local handyman in to sort it out for you.

[tamaris]

Can T afford anyone. Just like a strip I can place along the bottom

[tamborine]

extend bathroom tiles up bath edge & seal with silicone. OR ask council for wet room

[TonyV]

Can you give me some ideas of dimensions i.e. height and length then?

[mallyh]

do you get on with your neighbours perhaps they could help you x

About an inch to two high only
