Shower area advise

[clueless123456]

Hi everyone,

i need some advice. I want to remove the tiles from my shower area and do something other than re-tile it. is there any other suitable water proof materials. In B & Q they showed me some mdf cladding and said all i would need to do is varnish it. is that true? if so whats the best varnish to use because if i could do that, i was thinking of doing some decollage-ish thing on the wood, varnishing it and putting it up

I was also thinking maybe acrylic sheets...

Please help, my bathroom is in need of any overhaul and i have been umming and aaahing for the past year.

Above is an example of upvc- Have never used them personally. Check for things like UV fastness, ie. colour changing in time

Not sure that acrylic would be suitable

google "shower wall panels" for more options
