Bathroom Panels Mumsnet

About to do our bathroom. Really fed up of cleaning grout and put plumber suggested panels for the shower area instead of tiles. I think they look ok.

Hello, I am renovating my bathroom and am wondering how good wall panels are in the bathroom? I've seen some nice embossed tile effect ones and they look easier to maintain and install than regular tiles. Just wondering if anyone had them and could comment on how good they are compared to tiles. Thank you in advance!

Wal panels are ideal for covering rough surfaces, and have built in look a like grout, so no more dirt grout problems. Easy to cut and install. Bathroom panels or tiles? Which is the best option for your bathroom? We compare wall boarding to tiles here.

I need the collective experience of mumsnet! I'm trying to choose materials for my bathroom fit out and am leaning to bathroom/shower wall panels in. When we got our bathroom done a few years ago we got wet wall put in instead of tiles and grouting. Our shower is also over the bath and the panels cover the wall from ceiling to bath like the tiles would have.

I love them, very easy to keep clean and no filthy grout to deal with. Has anyone opted for wall panels instead of tiles for a bathroom? Ordered some samples and I'm not sure I like them, I expected them to be slightly 3. 18 year old bathroom needs a little tlc (on the cheap) mainly a new bath panel.

We currently have a white gloss wooden one which has served us well but has warped slightly along the bottom where it's absorbed water over the years. What are the best bath panels to have these days? The panels are expensive to buy, so you're likely to pay more per square metre, but potentially save money on fitting because they are quicker to fit and you don't have to pay a tiler.

For our recent bathroom, the panels we liked worked out just as expensive as buying the equivalent tiles and paying the tiler, so that's why we didn't go with it. I'm thinking of getting shower panels in my new bathroom, the plumber has recommended them for being practical and they look nicer than I'd feared.
