How do I fix this bathroom cladding?

[Yellow Fang]

Does anyone know what this stuff is called and where you can get it from? Also, does anyone know how I can repair this without taking everything off.

Take this photo to Wickes (very helpful) or B&Q should sort out this problem.

Yikes. The proper way to fix it would be to replace the panels altogether and/or re-tile. You can't count on the tiles behind the cladding to be sound and waterproof so any bodge must be 100% water tight. If you can find a panel that matches, cut a patch to fit in the hole with a 5mm to 8mm gap all the way around, and affix it with the best silicone sealant you can find, then seal the gap and profile the silicone to the surface level, you'll have a bodge that'll last until you can invest in taking it all back to the wall and re-tiling. Make sure to seal the top openings to the corrugations to prevent water building up inside the panels.

What a bodge job!!. Who would put that cladding stuff over tiles!, they should have been removed to begin with. Good luck in finding a tradesperson who will deal with that. Most wont touch a bodge job.

Most would prefer to put it over the tiles than to remove them.

They're chicken tiles - you're welcome. We had a shop with green ones.

If you really want to patch that to look "ok" ish I'd cut it so it's even then put a trim round the edges and fill with matching panels.Sort of fake inspection panel.
Never going to look perfect but better than that.

Cristal 'chicken' tiles were sold from the mid 60s onwards. There were many colours with the same pattern. One of the first tiling jobs I worked on in 1986 used these. Never fitted them since but hacked many 100s of sq meters off through the 90s/early 2000s during bathroom renovations.

That was my reaction as soon as I saw the pic. Everyone had them. My parents kitchen still had them when I cleared the house 2 years ago.

Err What?
The whole point of of those waterproof panels is it can go straight over tiles!
The "bodge" was / is cutting a hole in them!

The only decent way to sort it out is new panels.

Awful, It puts a lot of stress on walls tiling/boarding over tiles. What OP needs to be doing is taking the lot off and then having just one layer of choice.How are you going to get matching panels after years?
What a total dog of a job thats been done in that house.
