Shower boards in bath with shower above?

I've seen shower boards in stand alone showers but could I have shower boards around a bath with shower attached? There's also a small window on one side of the walls of the bath. Not sure how they would be cut etc or if this would even work.

Are you talking about the wall panels or duck boards?

Sorry yes I mean wall panels - instead of tiles.

yep, perfectly possible.

Sorry, I see you mentioned window so walls.

Not sure about the cutting but here’s a picture of them when there is a bath. Do be careful about the ones you get though. DB had a bathroom with them in a rented house and the panels dented really easily and looked awful after only a few months. There are sturdier options though.

We were looking into this and yes very possible. In the end we've gone back to tiles as they were very expensive and our plumber really didn't want to fit them - apparently they are tricky to cut and can damage easily (or at least the brand we were looking at), that was then reflected in the fitting price so large tiles have worked out more cost effective.

We had Respatex in a walk in shower and the corners leaked regularly over the years, despite correct installation. They ruined our downstairs ceiling twice. In the end we ripped it all out and went back to tiles.

I think so.

We've just ordered some from multi panel. Our plumber recommended them and builder will fit them.

Not cheap but I'm hoping I'll never have to scrub tile grout again !
