I’d be really interested to see some photos of how that looks, it definitely sounds like a great option as tiling is really problematic for maintenance in a rental property.
Thanks for your tour reply. To clarify, the plumber/renovation guy I am using is the one who redid the sealant/grouting two years ago, not the guy who fully replaced the bathroom with the overtiling etc.
I have been fortunate to not have any voids so far (not more than a week). This time we have two weeks so not quite long enough for a full bathroom refurbishment but i will try and organise that for next time between tenants.
It’s very true about good tradespeople being booked up, doesn’t help when you have maintenance issues. We can thank Brexit for that. I used to have some excellent tradespeople but they have all either retired or returned to their EU homeland when Britain become unfriendly.

Here are three pics from a bathroom refurb in 2017 with cladding on all walls and ceiling. The bathroom looks pretty much identical to that now. I’ve done zero maintenance on it since.

Thank you, these do look really good. Definitely a very good solution for tenants.

Does it stand up in court if you do it yourself?
I understand you can charge for materials (with receipts) but not your time.

Those are pretty basic ones. In our own home, when we refurbed our bathroom and ensuite, we added some really nice looking ones that look like black stone and slate tiles. Again, they look perfect five years on. I’ll never use ceramic tiles ever again!

Yes, if the inventory is sufficiently detailed, supported by plenty of photos showing the condition at check-in and check-out and signed by the tenant there is no reason why a court or deposit scheme would reject it.
Could i please ask where you got your panels from?
We are now doing a full refurb. Turns out it wasn’t the sealant…was a big hole in the waste pipe!

You can get them from a good plumbing merchant
Of course, many places do them but was just wondering if there were recommendations for a specific supplier
unless you live in Teesside, that’ll be fairly pointless I’d imagine. Any decent building supplier will have them.
And often from some bad ones too

That’s fine, thanks. I have found some nice ones online.
Full bathroom refurbishment and flooring through out flat. Thankfully insurance is covering most of it. Tenants i gave their full deposit back
