Looks good mate.
A wee tip if you’ve anything like that to do again; use UPVC soffit & fascia, clean, shiny & white. No painting, easy to cut & can be siliconed in to leave a neat tidy finish.

Another wee tip for boxing in or Bath Panels; Velcro tape. It has good adhesive strip & leaves everything accessible.

A good idea too methinks. I'm often having to remove bath panels to look for leaks and very much like them to come off easy, I absolutely hate it when mastic has been used on bath panels  . |

The large magnetic cupboard catches (65mm) make good closers for small boxing in jobs or access panels Very strong.

have you got more info on that Dick, I've never seen any velcro fixings for bath panels and it seems a good idea,  It’s just sticky Velcro hook & loop tape Tom. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F362197305483For a Bath panel for example; stick the loop side to the bottom batten that’s fixed to the floor & the hook strip to the Bath Panel. Push it on & it holds it firmly in place until you want to remove it, then, with just a firm pull the panel will come free of the batten. No unsightly screw etc........lovely job!!!!! |

Had to fit a shower tray riser late last year and the one that the merchants had in stock had magnets to keep the panel on, I was highly impressed until I went back a week later and all the sticky had unstuck off the magnets.
Ended up siliconing it in, but still a good idea.
