Default Fitting shower cubical in against plaster board walls

My mother inlaw has asked me to fit a shower cubical in place of her
bath, she is having difficulyi getting in and out of a bath. However
her bathroom walls are plaster board. Since it is unlikely that the
wall battons will line up with the screen fixings fo you think they
will be ok attaching to the plaster walls etc, any advice would be
appreciated

Thanks

Or similarly Aquapanel.

.... also available a Wickes - same stuff but with a Wickes label stuck on.

I've used this in both bathrooms and have been very satisfied with the
results. Fantastically heavy though, compared to plasterboard.

Regards,
Simon.

Take the bath out and make a wet floor with a drain in the middle of it.
Right where the bath waste used to be. No having to step up into a shower
tray, or climb in and out of a bath. Just walk right in and have a shower.
Then all you need is a curtain and track right across the room. Easy.
