15mm plasterboard

[curium]

I've just noticed that the boards in my bathroom are all 15mm but Wickes and B&Q only appear to do 12.5mm as their thickest.

Can anyone suggest somewhere else to buy?

Is 15mm board unusual?

Jewson do them here.
Strangely though Build Centre don't.

15mm boards can be difficult to get hold of as the smaller BM’s don’t usually stock them & I have to travel 30 odd miles to a large regional Travis Perkins depot to get mine when I need them; thankfully not that often as they are also bloody heavy! Try ringing your nearest B&Q Trade Centre, they may stock them; if not, ask in your local BM if they can check their regional depot for stock.

Also how old is your bathroom? Building Regulations now require sound insulation of stud walls; it could be one of the specialist boards have been used such as Sound Block or Fireline.

Don't they deliver?

They will deliver at extra cost & if it's any real distance (my regional depot is 30 miles away) you may get charged a hefty premium; I have a truck so no problem for me. Read my post about using 12mm on your other thread though.
