Can anyone recommend a supplier (on-line or in Bedfordshire) for plastic coated skirting board? It's to go into a bathroom, where the existing painted MDF shirting has blown from the damp atmosphere - so looking for a suitable alternative.
Thanks in advance.
Row of 100mm tiles?
I've used white PVC tongue-and-groove cladding as skirting (and coving) before now.

Tile in a contrasting colour?
If it's that damp I'd be looking at why. Unless it is direct water spillage on it.
Small bathroom with a shower, no extraction fan (on the list!). MDF has failed after ~5 years from where paint has been scratched/chipped (3 small kids.... Grrr) and damp has caused it to swell. Hence looking for harder-wearing alternative. The window sill is also MDF, and in a bad way, planning to replace that with composite worktop material or similar.
I'd use real wood for both - with a good paint job, it can always be repaired. My sills are 120 years old and fine.
Found some laminated window cill cheap enough (ebay), so will fit that in place of the MDF cill, should put up with the abuse better. Think you're right, painted real wood skirting may be the way to go.
You can get bathroom grade MDF - pale green colour. It's resin impregnated and pretty good stuff
For plastic skirting try:
Ahh, I didn't know that. Will take a look.
Why coated? One house I ownde had plastic (uPVC) skirting. Just google for uPVC profile suppliers.
