Tile Access Panels

Create a flawless, high-end finish in your bathroom or kitchen with Trade Counter Direct’s range of Tile Access Panels. Designed to be completely hidden, these panels allow you to tile directly onto the door surface, ensuring that plumbing valves, waste pipes, and stopcocks remain accessible without ruining your interior design.

Unlike standard white plastic hatches, our tile panels blend seamlessly with ceramic, marble, or slate finishes, making them the perfect choice for modern suites where aesthetics are everything.

Why Choose a Tile Access Panel?

• Invisible Finish: The recessed door accepts your own tiles (up to 10mm thick) so the panel disappears into the wall.
• Touch Opening: Features a magnetic touch catch mechanism—simply push the tiles to pop the door open. No visible handles or locks required.
• Adjustable Frames: Our popular Manthorpe range features adjustable frames (fitting openings from 150mm up to 465mm), making installation easy even in awkward spaces.
• Robust Design: Built to withstand moisture and temperature changes typical in bathrooms and kitchens without warping.

In Stock & Ready. Whether you are a professional tiler or a DIY homeowner, we stock the sizes you need for Next Working Day Delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do these panels open if there is no handle?
They use a spring-loaded pressure catch (often called a "push-to-open" or magnetic catch). You simply press firmly on the tiled door, and it springs open, allowing you to remove the panel and access the utilities behind it.

When should I install the panel?
For the best finish, the frame should be fixed into the wall opening before you start tiling. You then tile up to the frame on the wall, and tile the door panel separately to align with your grout lines.
