The Grout-Free Alternative to Tiles

Faster to Fit, Easier to Live With

Aqua Board shower, wall and ceiling panels are solid PVC — completely waterproof, mildew resistant and hygienic. There's no grout to blacken, no tiles to crack, and cleaning is a thirty-second wipe-down. For builders and installers working across Ipswich, Kesgrave, Woodbridge, Felixstowe and the rest of Suffolk, that makes them one of the quickest bathroom upgrades to price and fit — and for landlords and homeowners, one of the easiest to look after.

Panels fix to any clean, flat wall or ceiling — or straight over existing tiles — with a solvent-free adhesive or neutral-cure silicone. A standard shower enclosure needs just two of our metre-wide 10mm boards, and matching end cap and corner trims in white, black, beige and chrome finish every edge cleanly. Whether you're fitting bathrooms every week or tackling your own en-suite for the first time, it's all in stock at the Martlesham counter at genuine trade prices.

For Installers

Line a shower in a morning, not a weekend. No tile removal, no drying grout — quicker jobs, happier customers, better margin.

For Builders & Developers

Create a shower area with just two panels across plots and refurbs. Consistent finish, minimal wet trades, stocked locally.

For Confident DIYers

One of the most DIY-friendly products we sell. No trade account needed — we'll talk you through adhesives, trims and cutting at the counter.

Genuine Trade Prices

Supply only means no installation overhead in the price — just the panels, trims and adhesive you need for the job.

Two Ranges, One Finish

Shower Panels or Wall & Ceiling Panels?

The short version: 10mm shower panels are the metre-wide heavyweights for wet areas and enclosures. 5mm wall & ceiling panels cover everything else — bathroom walls, ceilings, kitchens, utility rooms and commercial washrooms. Many jobs use both, in matching designs.

For Showers & Wet Areas

Shower Panels — 10mm

The workhorse for shower enclosures and around baths. Boards are a full metre wide, so joints are few and far between — a standard enclosure takes just two panels and an internal corner trim. Deep or flat-flush edge profiles, in matt and gloss finishes.

Fitter's note: metre-wide boards mean a two-panel shower with one joint in the corner — seal joints and trims with neutral-cure silicone and it's watertight for years.

For Walls, Ceilings & Whole Rooms

Wall & Ceiling Panels — 5mm

Waterproof, tough and hygienic panels for full bathroom walls and ceilings — and just as at home in kitchens, utility rooms, cloakrooms and commercial washrooms. 17 fresh designs, plus dedicated gloss white ceiling panels in 2.6m and 4m lengths with an optional duo chrome strip for that classic finish.

Fitter's note: the 4m gloss white ceiling boards run most domestic ceilings in single unjointed lengths — measure the longest span before you order.

Fit It Right First Time

Where & How Aqua Boards Fit

Straight Over Tiles

Affix to a clean, flat wall or ceiling — or directly over existing tiles — with a solvent-free / moisture-cure adhesive or neutral-cure silicone. No rip-out, no dust, no skip.

Damp or Damaged Walls

Fit 38mm × 19mm battens horizontally at 400mm centres and panel over the top. A breathable membrane behind the battens is recommended.

Heat Tolerant

Suitable for rooms that reach up to 60°C, and can be fitted behind radiators and hot water pipes without a problem.

Kitchens & Hobs

Panels can be installed behind a gas or electric hob when protected by a piece of heat-resistant glass — a smart splashback alternative.

Hygienic & Easy Clean

Waterproof and mildew resistant with no grout lines — a quick wipe keeps shower and bathroom walls clean, safe and beautiful.

Home, Office or Commercial

Just as suited to offices, rentals, HMOs and commercial washrooms as family bathrooms — durable, consistent and quick to refurbish.

Fitting It Yourself?

One of the Best DIY Jobs in the Building

Unlike tiling, panelling a bathroom doesn't need wet trades or years of practice. Panels cut with ordinary woodworking tools, bond with adhesive, and the trims hide every cut edge. Measure carefully, keep your first board plumb, and seal joints and trims with neutral-cure silicone — we'll happily walk you through it at the counter and make sure you leave with the right adhesive.

Prefer someone to fit it for you? Our sister company Homestyle Windows UK has its own showroom in the same building here at Martlesham — or we can recommend trusted local fitters who are customers of ours.

Shower & Wall Panel FAQs

Questions the Trade Asks Us

Can I fit panels over existing tiles?

Yes — Aqua Boards fix to any clean, flat wall or ceiling, or straight over existing tiles, with a solvent-free / moisture-cure adhesive or neutral-cure silicone. That means no tile removal, no dust and no skip on a straightforward refresh.

How many panels does a shower enclosure need?

Usually just two. The 10mm shower boards are a full metre wide by 2.4m tall, so a standard enclosure is lined with two boards and an internal corner trim — far fewer joints than tiling and a much faster job.

Are the panels really 100% waterproof?

Yes — the panels are solid PVC, so they're completely waterproof and mildew resistant. No grout to discolour, no regrouting in three years' time, and cleaning is a quick wipe-down. That's why landlords, HMO owners and commercial premises love them as much as homeowners.

Can a DIYer fit shower and wall panels?

Absolutely — this is one of the most DIY-friendly products we stock. Panels cut with ordinary woodworking tools and bond with adhesive, with trims finishing every edge and corner. On sound, flat walls it's a weekend job; on damp or damaged walls, fit 38mm × 19mm battens horizontally at 400mm centres first (a breathable membrane is recommended).

Can panels go near radiators, pipes or a hob?

Yes — panels suit rooms that reach up to 60°C and can be fitted behind radiators and hot water pipes. They can even be installed behind a gas or electric hob, provided they're protected by a piece of heat-resistant glass.

What trims do you stock?

End caps, internal corners and external corners, each in white, black, beige and chrome. 10mm shower trims come in 2.4m lengths (sold individually) and 5mm wall & ceiling trims in 2.6m lengths (10 per pack).

Do you keep panels in stock for same-day collection?

Yes — panels, trims and adhesive are stocked at the Martlesham trade counter, so popular designs can usually be collected the same day. Local delivery is available across Ipswich, Suffolk and the surrounding area for bigger orders.

Can I see the designs before I buy?

Yes — the Martlesham trade counter and showroom is at 7 Betts Avenue, IP5 3RH. Open Monday to Friday 7:00am–4:30pm and Saturday 8:30am–11:30am. The kettle's usually on.
