Budget/economy bathroom panelling

[@absr671]

I’ve just fitted these crap panels and realized as fitting that they dent and actually crack when any remote pressure put onto them. I have to fit a rain shower head tomorrow and shower screen weighing 21kg, not sure how to fit securely without cracking the panels. Any ideas?

[@clairewilliams3081]

Would you put the silver coving up first or the corner strips?

[@Displays.1234.]

These panels are cheap but absolutely crap, you can dent these panels with your finger... You definitely get what you pay for.... Any bracket mounted against these panels will dent it...

[@001Neal100]

Looks a lot easier and less time consuming to install than tiles, plus easier for maintenance and cleaning. Just the risk of scratching during installation and cutting we have to watch out for!

Do you put a trim or silicone along the top?

[@saxmanzzz]

A really helpful video. Not sure what I'm going to do in my bathroom yet, but this definitely helped. Thanks

[@MrNaKillshots]

Why the gap on straight edges? Must be a product defect.

[@dilligaf2386]

What do good plumbers do to hot and cold pipes when they are close together think about it a cold wall and hot water running down the board.

[@everlastbuilders]

Hi normally when pipes are in the wall they have some sort of lagging around them or sleeving to protect them and insulate the pipes. Not all plumbers bother tho.

[@yuseifudo26]

Getting the panelling is ok but it’s finding a bathroom fitter that doesn’t fucking complain about how they can’t do panelling or making excuses is the problem

[@everlastbuilders]

Haha sorry to hear that mate. Hope you get it sorted. Panelling is a tough game if you don’t know the tricks.

[@yuseifudo26]

@@everlastbuilders😭thanks man

[@terryfrick3433]

First time you fall into that stuff you're gonna put a hole in it! Lol why would anyone use that crap?

[@cuezed]

How do you get rid of the tiny gap in the centre of 2 panels when top and bottom are tightly fit?

[@wasifsabir]

Hmmm … dodgy

[@MrWardnine]

Glad he's not doing mine

[@everlastbuilders]

Any reason in particular lol?

[@MrWardnine]

@@everlastbuilders yep the bath should not be used as storage for stuff The bath should be full of water before fixing panels and silicon and the strips are in the wrong place Have you done this before mate

[@everlastbuilders]

@@MrWardnine haha you are a wally. the weight of the panels hold the bath down nicely. If the bath is fixed correctly there will be no movement anyways. also thats a 30kg toilet in the bath for good measure. strips? do you mean end caps?

[@CryptoBooboo]

Hey guys How do I contact you to put up a few shower panels? I have them and shower tray is in but my plumber doesn’t want to install them.. wondered if you could help a damsel in distress 🙏 I’m in Eastbourne - Hampden Park 👍

[@everlastbuilders]

Hey. Thanks for watching. Email me some pics and what panels you have. We are super busy but if it’s only a small job I could squeeze it in as you are local. [e-mail]

Hey guys Did you receive my emails? xx

[@Rachel-us7qs]

Which tradesman would you need for this job?

[@paulmarsh5673]

Good lad.

[@MrWardnine]

Rubbish panels and hope the bath is not scratched to buggery

[@rsultanars]

Economy cuts 😂 nice work tho 👍🏼

[@MrNaKillshots]

I'll do it myself.

[@jfarinacci0329]

Thank you for showing us this lighter weight paneling. Good work.

[@everlastbuilders]

My pleasure

[@websurfer1585]

Can this be used over normal plasterboard in a shower?

[@ianmcmaster3329]

Just ripped out tiles in shower in my son's house. Had been tiled on plasterboard. Plasterboard absorbed moisture from the shower, expanded, and all the tiles had hairline cracks. Don't do it. You can get special backing board for showers.

[@daverichards6557]

Awesome . Really good tips and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you work. “Jobs a good’un!”

[@everlastbuilders]

Thank you for your kind words! Glad the video helped mate!

[@owp0w]

where did you get these panels from

[@everlastbuilders]

Hi. Company called eurocell. They are dotted round the country so you may have a local branch to look at the panels. They are 1000x2400mm

[@johnsmiths9682]

I know I am pedantic, but when putting the small piece in on the first bathroom you kept saying to get it level......level is horizontal PLUMB is the word you are looking for for an upright, good tips otherwise, thank you

[@everlastbuilders]

Haha brilliant! I don’t know why I always just say level. Must be a old habit! Thanks for watching and commenting. Il try get my wording right next time!
