TUBCRAFT

HAND‑CRAFTED QUALITY

Rustins‑Sealed MDF

Made in Britain • Installer‑Trusted

Upgrade your bathroom with the TubCraft Paintable MDF 2 Piece Shaker Style Bath Panel – the original paintable bath panel and still the only bath panel in the UK that is pre-sealed by hand using Rustins Clear MDF Sealer. No other manufacturer prepares their panels to this standard, making TubCraft the benchmark for quality, durability and paint-ready performance.

Each panel is manufactured in the UK from moisture-resistant MEDITE MDF, then individually hand-sealed with Rustins Clear MDF Sealer to create a smooth, stable, professional surface that is ready for priming and painting. This exclusive process prevents swelling, reduces paint absorption, and ensures a flawless finish in any colour.

The classic shaker design features crisp vertical framing and subtle recessed detailing, giving your bath a furniture-grade appearance that suits both modern and traditional interiors. This is a true 2 piece adjustable bath panel, consisting of a main panel and a plinth. The plinth can be fitted either in front of or behind the main panel, allowing height adjustment between 450mm and 560mm – ideal for uneven floors, raised baths or older properties where nothing is perfectly level.

Frequently asked Questions

Question: What is a Bath Panel Lip?
Answer:

A bath panel lip is a 5mm x 5mm extension to the top edge of the bath panel, it is useful on installation of the panel to slide under the edge of the bath to keep the top of the panel flush. This can however make installation tricky as most baths have an uneven under edge. For best results opt for a panel without a lip and fix the panel securely to your bath frame or battens surrounding the edges of the bath.

Product Questions

Will this bath panel fit my bath?

Each bath panel is designed for a specific bath type. Straight panels fit most standard UK baths. Shaped panels (L-shaped or P-shaped) must match the exact bath model. Always check your bath’s length, height and shape before ordering.

Is this bath panel adjustable?

Many MDF panels include a main panel and plinth, allowing height adjustment between 450mm and 560mm. Adjustable panels are ideal for uneven floors or baths installed slightly out of level. Check the product description for exact adjustment ranges.

Can this bath panel be cut to size?

MDF panels can be cut with a sharp handsaw. Acrylic panels can be trimmed with a fine-tooth saw. Curved sections on shaped panels must not be cut. Always measure carefully before trimming.

Does this product include a matching end panel?

Some products include matching end panels, while others require them to be purchased separately. Check the product listing for details or contact us for advice.

Is this bath panel moisture resistant?

MDF panels are made from moisture-resistant MEDITE MDF, ideal for bathroom environments. Acrylic panels are naturally water-resistant and easy to clean.

Is this bath panel supplied painted?

MDF panels are usually supplied unfinished so you can paint them in any colour. Acrylic panels arrive pre-finished. Always check the product description for the finish type.

What paint should I use on MDF bath panels?

Use MDF primer followed by undercoat and a satin, eggshell or gloss topcoat. Moisture-resistant bathroom paints and designer brands work extremely well.

How do I install this bath panel?

Most panels are fixed to timber battens or a frame using the supplied screws. MDF drills cleanly and acrylic panels require careful drilling with a fine bit. Full fitting instructions are included with every product.

Is this bath panel left-hand or right-hand?

Straight panels are universal. Shaped panels (L-shaped or P-shaped) are available in left-hand and right-hand versions. Ensure you select the correct orientation for your bath.
