Bathroom Walls

More from the Bathroom Remodeling Gallery

Your bathroom walls can look like new with something as simple as a fresh layer of paint. Painting is an affordable option, and your choices of color are limitless. With paint, you can also get creative with style and texture. It is available in mildew-resistant formulas, but even with this precaution, paint can peel or mold when exposed to moisture.

Another popular option for bathroom walls is ceramic tile. This material has timeless appeal for its variety and versatility. Ceramic tile comes in affordable prices, is waterproof, and adds a custom look. However, ceramic tile needs to be grouted, and grout can get moldy. Tile is also cold to the touch and can promote condensation.

Solid surface walls are seamless, smooth, and built to last a lifetime. They are also waterproof and easy to clean. These precut pieces may need professional installation for bathrooms with curved walls or tricky corners.

There are also bathroom wall panels made from UPVC cladding, a hard plastic with a vinyl face that imitates traditional materials such as wood and marble. The panels can be installed over existing tiles using a tongue and groove installation system. They are waterproof and easy to clean.

Finally, wallpaper is always an affordable option for giving plain walls a lift. The disadvantage with this material is that it’s not waterproof and will probably need to be replaced within 7 years if placed in the bathroom.
