I shall shortly need to re-do the bathroom in my holiday property and
will need to cover the wall on one side and at one end of the bath with
something which will stand having water thrown at it from an over-bath
shower.

The default is tiles - but I don't like tiling, and the grouted joints
tend to get mildew on them over a period of time. Is there any suitable
sheet material - maybe shiny white(ish) plastic or somesuch - which I
could use instead? If so, what is it, and what size sheets does it come
in? Does it come in any colours other than white?


Many thanks to all who replied - I now have lots to go on!

Mermaid and Wetwall look promising. Anyone know how much they cost?

The mermaid type panels are quite expensive but look classy. Durable and
easy to keep clean. My shower is done in them. I'd use them at the upper end
of the holiday market, but maybe go for the cheaper / replaceable plastic at
the lower end?

Sorry for the late reply, but I couldn't remember the name
:-( .
Grosfilex (and similar) is what I've used in 4 bathrooms.
Panels are about 2.4m long, 375mm wide, about 4mm thick in a
twinwall format. They are a tongue and groove fitting and
can be stuck on with most gripfill or N M nails stuff. I've
just done 2 @ 25 sq m ceilings in a shiny white cheapo
version.

Panels I bought in UK were about 19 squids each, in France,
a pack of 3 panels (about 2.9 sq m) around 38 euro. There
are also 1m (ish) long panels with T & G side and ends but
might be more xpensive.
