Shower "Liner"   
Hi

     I am having trouble with water getting behind the tiles in the shower 
and I would like to "line" the shower. I understand there are panels that 
will fit over the existing tiles but what are they called. I have done a 
search for Shower liners, shower panels etc but have had no joy and I really 
need a solution.



Thanks in advance.

They make the mermaid shower panel that is fairly widely available from 
bathroom showrooms and some builders merchants.
Also, laminate flooring direct do a shower panel. They are a nationwide 
company but can't find any details on the web.

Re: Shower "Liner"   
Having been through the same ordeal, but not having heard of liners or 
similar, we opted to rip the whole lot off, use a reputable plasterer to 
re-do all of the bathroom walls and ceiling (200.00) and then re-tile 
ourselves. (160.00)

Seems a lot, but to say we know have a decent fully-decorated bathroom, it 
was well worth the hassle.

I'd recommend doing the same if your budget allows.

and what's more, i thoroughly enjoyed doing the tiling and anyone needing a 
hole in a tile for a pipe, i reccomend the carbide tipped hole borer/bit - 
about 6.00 from b&q - marvellous.

Mermaid Board, Its a type of board comes in 8' x 4' x 1/4" sheets covered
with a Formica finish, I've looked on the net but cant find it. It does
exist, our shower is lined with it.  We  used it instead of tiles direct to
the wall.   Its been on for 4 years and as of yet no problems. Its easy to
clean and no grout joints.

Have a look at Foamalux 8' x 4' panels from
http://www.brettmartin.co.uk/

I have used them in White to line my showers. They have an adhesive, which
permanently bonds the panels together. No leaks - No grout - simple wipe
clean surface

Cheers,

Joe
