I have a 2009 Bailey Sancerre and the one piece plastic sheeting in the shower cubicle has cracked. The cost of having this replaced with a new one is around £400 which I think is way over the top just for a bit of thin plastic. The sheet is in one piece and is what they call a lose fit lining, it is fixed at the top by 9 rivits 3 on back wall, 3 on side wall and 3 on partion wall to bedroom. The bottom drops into what they call a castle shower tray which has raised edges and is lose fit.

I was thinking of removing this liner and Tiling the 3 walls with NEKEN Plastic tiles. The tiles are 305mm square made up of 9 small tiles. They are plastic with a polystyrene back. You can also get the the corner trim profile where the tiles meet in the corners. They say it is 100% waterproof.  www.neken.co.uk

1 Would it be ok to go down this path ?

2 If so could I stick the tiles directly onto the wallboard ?

WHAT I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE WEIGHT. I know the tiles are plastic, but you sound like you are doing a bigish area. Tiles ,adhesive and grouting all add up and could effect the towing characteristics of your van.  Do you have anyone local that does plastic welding?  This might be a better solution.

Hi

The tiles are very light and are no heaver than polystyrene of the same thickness. You only have to grout between the full tile not the 9 smaller titles and the so called grouting is silicon based.

Being a tiler I would never tile a van there is just to much movement everywhere sealing would be a nightmere,buy a tanking kit from a tile shop about 50.00 then tile the tray with mosiac tiles use good quality tile adh,grout not the ready mixed type it's your best option dave

That sounds heavy to me!  If you use your lite tiles, make sure you use a flexible adhesive because as has been said there will be a fair amount of movement.

Mosaic tiles are the lightest you can buy,but remember when fixed there are lots of joints to grout ,this could leak,be very careful what u are fixing flexible tile adh won't stick everything to everything
