Could you possibly paper it with vinyl wallpaper?

We got an oddly bath panel online a few years ago.
Do you know the make?
(It may still have the label underneath?)

Otherwise (if it's just the outside of the bath) have a look at Supadec - that paints over lots of plastics.

This sort of thing, only this is a photo of a commercial panel at about £400!

We have the same problem. The bath was in the house when we bought it and the rest of the bathroom is fine.
After a lot of research we are going to replace the panel with vertical plastic weatherboarding which will be able to take into account the curve. DH is very skilled at DIY, but it probably isn’t a solution for everyone.
We couldn’t find a satisfactory paint option, sorry.

Apologies if this has been discussed recently.
I have a plastic bath panel that has turned from white to grey and was wondering if anyone has successfully painted theirs?

It’s a D-shaped panel and handymen I’ve had round to replace it have sucked their teeth, claimed such panels can’t be found, claimed the panel would need to be cut down, said the arc of the D ‘is funny’.
One tried to sell me a new, rectangular, bath!
As far as I know it’s a regular D-shaped bath, but replacing & sealing the panel is a bit beyond us.
Thanks
