Wall Covering For A Shower Stall ?
Hello:
Have a feeling that I know the answer to this already, but let me ask anyway. Have an upper part of a shower stall that's just painted; no tile. Peeling a bit, and thought I'd add / glue on plastic sheet to it. Like everything else, I guess, once you really look into it, it becomes a bigger job than initially thought. The ceiling is curved, as is one of the walls. The thinnest plastic sheet I could find in the shower Dept at HD is still fairly thick, and I am worried about cutting it true to the curve, and whether it will tend to come off due to the stress on the plastic because of the curve. Was wondering: Is there any type of truly waterproof "very-thin", almost like a paper thickness, vinyl sheet that is available and would do the job ? Thanks, Bob |

You could always use wallpaper, but what is the cause of the paint peeling? Do you have a vent fan? If not, that would fix the peeling problem and you don't have to cover that wall at all.
