Cheap source for bathroom wall panels

Options
Just wondering whether anyone can recommend a cheap source for bathroom wall panels.

There are some amazing ones out there like https://www.splashacrylic.com

but these are not in the price range I'm considering, basically I'm look for the cheapest you can get provided they don't end up visually disgusting.

Using the bathroom marquee as a guideline http://www.bathroommarquee.co.uk/
I seem to be finding prices are about £7 for a 2.5mx25cm or £70 for a 2.5m x 1m

I can't quite tell why a panel which is 4 times the size costs 10 times the price.

Perhaps my first stumbling was a good one - but perhaps someone knows a lot better than me - I wouldn't be surprised as this was a quick google.

Any advice greatfully received.

Thanks.

    The cheaper panels have a wooden core and are coated in PVC/plastic. The expensive panels are solid plastic/acrylic. More expensive to produce but zero risk of the wooden core getting wet and the problems that would cause. There are some cheap solid plastic panels around however if you shop around.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
