Hi,
I want to add a regular shower to the master bath in my house. Right now there is a garden style (wider than normal) tub and a hand held shower head on the center of the wall on the long side of the tub. At the end is a small wall about 3 ft high seperating the tub and the toilet and ceramic tile about 5 ft high all around the room . I want to extend the small wall to the ceiling and move the shower head to this wall.Then I wanted to cover this wall and the others from the tile to the ceiling. My problem is that I cannot find a tub surround kit to fit,or even one I can cut up to fit. I was wondering if anyone knew of a supplier of bulk sheets and moulding that I could custom fit for my application. Also a supplier of chrome piping and fittings so I could run the water lines outside of the tile and to the new end wall so the showerhead could be mounted there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale

Sorry for the long delay in the answer. I haven't been here since January.
You should search for "santana plastic" for your bulk shower project. You will find plastic sheeting in various colors up to 2 inches thick and 4X8 sheets. These are extraordinarly heavy.
You need nothing this industrial, but I'd look at the lighter gauges.
Contact them to see if there is a rep in your area.
