Sort of border on the wood at the bottom of my bath. It is getting warped with the bath water. It is not a bath panel proper but just thin wood. I need something I can stick on as I'm not into DIY and I have no one to do it for me. Any ideas ?

just decorative? to protect it from the water or what?
sorry, pressed enter too soon. I'd be a bit concerned that if enough bath water is sloshing out to warp the bath panel then it might also be affecting the floor? Last summer a leaking shower door made enough of a problem that I needed a whole chunk of new kitchen ceiling so I'd be doing a bit of checking before you do something cosmetic. I blooming wish I had.

Decorative yes. It looks bad at present. Hopefully something that will help the water to stop eroding it. I had a perfectly good panel and the chap that tidied up my bathroom took the panel and just put wood there instead. It's just like a shiny plywood.

Floor is fine I have large tiles.

Not alot of water TBH over the side but when I wash the floor the wood gets wet as well.
I would get a sheet of outside ply wood, your local DIY shack or builders merchants will cut it to size for you.
You just need to varnish it or paint with an outside paint
Think you can buy vinyl self adhesive borders from DIY shops like B&Q. Would giving the wood a couple of coats of clear varnish also help?

I am an old lady I am not able to do this on my own.
Tamarins what size are you looking for?
Question Author
A border
But what measurements, if your not good at DIY, I'd get a local handyman in to sort it out for you.
Question Author
Can T afford anyone. Just like a strip I can place along the bottom
extend bathroom tiles up bath edge & seal with silicone. OR ask council for wet room
Can you give me some ideas of dimensions i.e. height and length then?
do you get on with your neighbours perhaps they could help you x
