Inside Our Bath Panel Factory in Kent
BathPanelStore.co.uk manufactures made-to-order and made-to-measure bath panels at our specialist woodworking factory in Rainham, Kent. Our workshop combines skilled production, CNC technology, vacuum pressing and quality-control checks to create bath panels in a wide range of sizes, styles and finishes.
A Specialist UK Bath Panel Manufacturer
Our 10,000-square-foot woodworking factory and workshop has been organised specifically for the production of bath panels. The facility allows us to manufacture standard, adjustable and made-to-measure bath panels efficiently while maintaining checks throughout the production process.
We continually invest in manufacturing equipment and production methods to improve accuracy, consistency, capacity and workplace safety for our panel makers and apprentices.
Because our panels are made to order, the typical timescale from ordering to delivery is approximately seven days, subject to the product and available delivery date shown during checkout.
How We Manufacture Our Bath Panels
Each made-to-order bath panel passes through seven main production stages before it is packed and prepared for delivery.
Cut
The panel material is cut to the required dimensions for the selected product or custom order.
Detail
CNC routing and woodworking equipment are used to create the required style, profile and design details.
Glue
The appropriate adhesive is applied as part of the panel’s assembly or surface-finishing process.
Sand
Surfaces and relevant edges are prepared to achieve a clean and consistent foundation for finishing.
Apply the Finish
The selected colour, wood effect or decorative surface is applied using the appropriate production process.
Pack
The completed bath panel is protected using packaging designed for large, finished panels.
Label and Dispatch
The packaged order is labelled, matched to its delivery information and prepared for dispatch.
Quality Control Throughout Production
Quality control is not limited to one final inspection. We check panels during production so potential issues can be identified before the order reaches the packing stage.
- Barcode and order information help identify panels as they move through production.
- Dimensions and design details are checked against the order requirements.
- Surfaces and finishes are inspected during the manufacturing process.
- Completed panels are checked before protective packaging is applied.
- Labels and delivery information are matched to the finished order.
Bath Panel Manufacturing Technology
Modern equipment supports the work of our manufacturing team, helping us produce both repeatable designs and bespoke panels.
CNC Routing
Computer-controlled routing equipment enables accurate cutting and repeatable decorative details across a wide range of bath panel designs.
Vacuum Pressing
Vacuum-pressing equipment is used for selected wrapped finishes, helping the surface material follow the panel’s shape and routed detailing.
Made-to-Measure Production
Our production setup enables panels to be manufactured to customer-supplied dimensions, including selected cut-outs and non-standard sizes.
Order Identification
Barcode scanning and production information help identify individual orders while they move through the factory.
Skilled Finishing
Equipment is supported by hands-on preparation, finishing, inspection and packing by our manufacturing team.
Protective Packaging
Finished panels are carefully packaged to help protect their faces, edges and corners during delivery.
Research, Development and New Bath Panel Ideas
Part of our factory is dedicated to developing new bath panel products, construction methods, finishes and installation solutions.
This approach has helped us bring specialist products to market, including illuminated LED bath panels, flexible panels for shaped baths, paintable bath panels and made-to-measure designs.
Our custom-made bath panel can be configured in selected colours, finishes and styles using measurements supplied during ordering.
