Will be refurbishing our shower at home shortly. SWMBO has decided that

I have no experience of fitting anything like this, and googling has
thrown up number of possible suppliers (none of which I've ever heard of, eghttp://www.bathroommarquee.co.uk/decos-spaceline.phphttp://mermaidpanels.com/)

Costs appear to vary from about the same as tiling to substantially
more. Anyone done this as a viable alternative to tiling? Any tips,
experiences, sources of materials etc gratefully received.

We've used these ones a few times:

They look good, are lasting well so far (6 years or so for the first
ones we fitted) and are easy to fit.
From memory we pay about £75 + VAT for an 8 x 4 sheet in white, a bit
more for the more interesting ones.
When we fit them in our house, I'm thinking about adding the concealed
speaker system - http://www.multipanel.co.uk/soundPanel/soundpanel.asp

I was looking at the free standing shower cubicles (Kubex and others)
that are delivered assembled. A bit pricey but I guess they would be
quick to install.
