I have a 90's cruiser with a shower / wet room, the walls have been lined with what looks like a vinyl, it's a cream marble effect and is 1mm thick. The walls are slightly curved and the corners are filleted with a radius similar to the inside of a sellotape roll! I can't for love nor money find anything similar to what's already there, it's going to need gluing on and will need to be on the roll, its 2m high by 6m to cover the whole room, there are loads of lino or vinyl flooring options but are to thick or incorporate foam, I thought it would be easy to find a replacement material but I have spent way to much time surfing the net. Probably the nearest thing I have managed to find was pvc swimming pool liner but being the uk makes it hard to find a supplier and I don't want blue mosaic! Also if you search "wetroom" you just get tons of cladding stuff that can't go round tight bends. I'll get some pictures soon.
Any help would be most welcome.

My first port of call would be Hawke House, even if only to get an idea of what might be available...

Wow, you were very quick! Can't see anything on there site but they have some very interesting stuff that's very handy to know about ta. I guess I could contact them to see if they could point me in the right direction.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
 
What’s the marque as the owners website might be source of insiparation and attract more like owners to your post.
Welcome to the forum and stay safe but no sleeping on board of course as highly dangerous to others.
 
What's wrong with a thin cushioned type? You can get them at 2mm thick, maybe less. As long as edges are sealed, should be fine.
Or you might be able to get a waterproof leatherette type fabric but 2m wide might be a problem.
 
I built a shower in NZ four years ago to replace an awful leaky and failing tiled one. I chose a 1200X 1000 base.

The supplier provided a 3mm white acrilic liner for the back and one side. In NZ and Australia they are common and can be easily custom made to any size and shape. I would be surprised if something similar was not available in the UK.
 
Possibly not quite what you are looking for but this is the heads compartment on my little motorsailer. The walls are lined with 2.5 mm PVC sheet. Mine are white but it comes in marbled and other colours.. My corners are fairly sharp right angles but it is possible to buy a wide variety of mouldings that might do yours. Alternatively, PVC is easy to shape using a hot gun and can be welded.
 
Thanks so much for all you help. I've done some tests on the bends with 2mm lino, all seems ok so now I'm going to order some from ebay.

Thanks again.
