I intend to renovate our bathroom and would like to hear whether readers have used PVC wall panelling instead of tiles. Also, which comes out cheaper, tiles or panelling. Any advise and opinions would be appreciated.

Having recently moved, we’ve had the bathroom in the new home completely renovated. Mrs Hymie was keen on the use of panelling (for ease of cleaning) – but surprisingly it is more expensive than tiling.

Besides the panelling sheets being quite expensive, there is normally quite a bit of wastage – our bathroom fitter advised that the surface on which the panelling is mounted/fixed requires more work to prepare than is the case for tiles.

All of our bathroom walls were tiled with tilling material costing around £35/sq metre, which was significantly cheaper than had we opted for panelling. A mixture of tiling/panelling was an option – but I did not think they would look good together.
As Hymie says..it aint cheap...however its worth the cost to create that 'caravan look'
We have just had ours done with PVC. It seems warmer and no condensation as yet. Also the fact that it won't have to be re-grouted is a plus.
