Renovating your bathroom in one day, without demolition work?
Breaking out tiles, dust and noise, a tiler you need to schedule months in advance… sometimes you’d rather not start at all. But fortunately, renovating your shower doesn’t have to be that drastic. With Dumawall wall panels, you can renovate your shower in just one day, directly over existing tiles, entirely by yourself, with a stunning result.
For whom are wall panels the smartest choice?
Maybe you want to renovate your bathroom, but you don’t feel like, don’t have time for, or don’t have the budget for a full renovation. We understand — you want a fresh, clean shower that looks comfortable, and you want it quickly. That’s possible: our Dumawall wall panels for the shower are ideal when:
- Your second home needs a refresh.
The shower is still usable, but the tiles feel dated. With wall panels, you can give the space a new look quickly, even before the season starts.
- You’ve just bought a home.
The bathroom may not yet match your style, but for now the shower mainly needs to be clean, attractive and ready to use. Without a major renovation, because that will come later.
- You rent out a house or apartment.
Between tenants, every day counts. A PVC shower wall or shower wall panel is quick to install, easy to maintain and resistant to daily use.
- You want to update your own shower.
Maybe you live in an apartment, want to keep your budget under control or a long renovation doesn’t fit your planning. Then PVC wall panels for the shower are a practical and attractive solution.
What do you need?
Surprisingly little. You mainly need the right amount of Dumawall wall panels, based on the dimensions of your shower. Depending on the substrate, you choose adhesive, nails or staples. With a utility knife, you cut the panels to size. For corners and edges, you can use finishing profiles so everything fits neatly.
No complicated machines. No special expertise. Just measure well, work calmly and follow the installation instructions.
How to renovate your shower in one day
A major advantage of Dumawall is that you don’t need to be a professional DIYer. The panels are designed for do-it-yourself installation and are easy to work with:
- First measure the shower walls accurately and prepare all your materials. Also check the existing substrate. The wall must be clean, dry and stable. Are your old tiles still firmly attached? Then you don’t need to remove them.
- Next, you can install the Dumawall panels directly over the existing tiles of the shower wall. That’s exactly what makes this renovation method so appealing. You avoid dust, debris and noise, and your bathroom remains usable much sooner.
- Depending on the substrate and your preference, you attach the panels with adhesive, nails or staples. In a shower, adhesive is often chosen because it gives a sleek finish without visible fixings. Make sure you use a suitable adhesive for humid spaces and always follow the installation page for the correct guidelines.
- Need to work around a tap, corner or pipe? Simply cut the panel to size with a utility knife. Measure carefully, mark the cut and work step by step. This also makes this shower wall cladding so accessible for DIYers.
- Finally, finish the corners and edges neatly with profiles and seal the joints properly. This not only gives your shower a beautiful finish, but also keeps it well protected against moisture.
Tile look or large wall panels?
Colour sets the tone. But the format determines how calm, luxurious or bold your shower wall feels.
- Do you like the classic look of tiles? Then wall tiles of 65 × 37.5 cm or 90 × 50 cm are a good choice. They give your bathroom the familiar appearance of tiles, but are much faster to install than traditional shower wall tiles.
- Prefer a sleek, luxurious look? Then large wall panels of 90 × 260 cm or 120 × 260 cm are ideal. They run almost floor-to-ceiling and create a calm, modern effect. Because you have fewer joints, the result is not only more attractive but also easier to clean. That’s a major advantage in the shower: fewer joints mean fewer places where limescale, soap residue or mould can accumulate. A large shower wall panel not only gives your bathroom a stylish appearance, but also makes maintenance easier.
- Choose gloss to subtly reflect light and enhance the sense of space. Choose matte for a softer, more natural appearance.
With Dumawall, you can choose from various designs in marble, concrete, natural stone and solid colours. Popular designs for the shower:
Why Dumawall is ideal for the shower
In a shower, the material must withstand water. Every single day. That’s why Dumawall PVC shower wall panels are completely waterproof. Moisture cannot penetrate the material, making the panels particularly suitable for wet rooms.
Maintenance is also easy. Especially with large shower wall panels, you have few joints, which reduces the chance of limescale and mould. You simply clean the wall with a soft cloth and a standard cleaner. No need to impregnate, treat or use special products. Easy, right?
