New corner shower is finally fitted!

Wall are covered with these panels

and very nice they are too!

10mm thick plastic, looks very similar to corrugated cardboard from the
side.

Problem is that there is no way to fix a shelf to the glass enclosure,
so it will have to be attached to the walls somehow.


The problem is that being pvc the surface will deteriorate, it will become grubby and uncleanable. I would never put that stuff in a bathroom. Useful on a shed roof though.


Anything must be better than tiles and grout in a very well used shower
surely?



Considering that it will need to hold around 5-6 full 0.5l bottles of
shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/etc, possibly more (don't ask...), would
any of the suction-type fixing be up for the job?


no!

Otherwise, how would the panel suggest fixing it to the wall panels
(plasterboard behind)? Simple masonry rollplugs?


Plasterboard requires wallplugs for hollow walls, not regular wallplugs. I'd very much overengineer them, otherwise the first time someone leans on it you've got a problem.
