Advice requested. I need to make a bath panel. First a good moan because it's what I do best. The reason I need to make a panel is that I have installed the bath higher than normal, because a builder installed the waste pipe in the slightly unusual way to run up hill, he cut the hole through the wall about 50mm too high then secured the pipe with expanding foam normally used to hold in windows, it's hard as rock and not wanting to make a greater mess of the wall I have raised the bath instead. Standard panels do not fit.
What would you use to make the panel and how would you finish it. It is not in my own home so I cannot keep an eye on it, it needs to work first time and stay in good condition for as long as possible, I can't rely on tenants letting me know if there is a problem until it's utterly past all repair.
On a skill level from Z to A (Zero to Adam) I am much nearer the Z than I would like to be.
