Tiling around a bath panel.

The tiling scheme will largely dictate where to start tiling and how the wall should be marked out for tiles start by measuring the height from the lip of your bath to the top of the planned tiled area. I m tiling my bathroom and i m not sure the best way to tile the wall at the bath edges side of the bath panel. The panel is plastic and has a gently curved profile. You may wish to alter this height if possible to minimise tile cutting.

I cover some of the specifics of how to layout and set up a tub to install tile around it. Bath panel tiling is simply the process of adding tiles to the side of your bath usually in the same style that you have tiled the floor or walls. You can then decide the size and placement of the access panel as it is aesthetically better to make it to the size of say 4 full tiles rather than having to cut tiles and therefore having an unsightly line through them. Mark a horizontal line around your bath at this height.

The process involves using specialist tile backing board which won t warp and requires a bit more effort than using standard bath panels but you may consider it well worth the extra effort. Tile the room first this will allow you to plan the bath panel tiling accurately by lining the bath panel tiles up with the wall.
