New corner shower is finally fitted!

Wall are covered with these panels
http://ceiling2floor.co.uk/product/p...t-grey-marble/
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.

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?

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

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.

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.

You might have got away with it if you had fitted grip-its to the
plasterboard before fixing the plastic, now you will have to go through
it all into the brick/blockwork behind the plasterboard (unless you are
very lucky and can find a stud). If the plasterboard is a stud wall and
you have access to the other side, you could try to find a suitable
stud, drill right through it with say a 4 mm drill, and then fix "shelf"
with suitable screws. Suggest something like this rather than a shelf,
get one in stainless

I realise this is a corner one, but you can get non-corner ones too.

Long (50mm+) plug through the panel into the wall behind - then brass or
stainless screws. Blob of silicone around the hole just before fixing
the bracket.

Nine years ago I stuck a rather large shampoo holder etc to the tiles below
the shower. It has three suckers and has yet to fall down.

10 minute job. Panels simply fit very tight into the corner and end
trims (aluminium in my case - can have coated plastic as well) - you put
silicon on the underside of the trim first. Another 5 minute jobs.

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

quite the opposite. Tiles are ever cleanable, PVC isn't for too long. Grout is rakeable and regroutable, PVC is just knackered after a while.

I'd never use it for its intended purpose. It's reusable for shed roof lining etc, so it should prove useful when you remove it.

I'd say +1 to the recommendation for a stainless steel shampoo basket, but the plastic will be knackered before you need to replace a cheaper shelf.

The joints are a joy to use. Slide them together, job done.
