Panelled vs tiled bathrooms: which is right for you?

Choosing between a fully panelled and fully tiled bathroom is one of the first decisions Lancashire homeowners make. Both can look premium. The difference is finish, install time, and budget.

Fully panelled

Premium waterproof splash panels give a clean, modern look with fewer grout lines. Installs are typically quicker — often 3–5 days — which means less disruption at home. At ProActive, fully panelled packages start from £5,999.

Best if you want a sharp contemporary finish, reliable waterproofing, and a faster turnaround.

Fully tiled

Ceramic or porcelain tiles deliver the classic architectural bathroom. More design flexibility, more craft on site, and a slightly longer install — typically 5–7 days. Fully tiled packages start from £7,999.

Best if you want texture, pattern, and that timeless tiled aesthetic.

What about structure?

Finish is only half the job. ProCore18™ reinforces non-structural walls with structural-grade timber board so heavy fixtures are properly supported and mobility aids can be added later without changing tiles or panels.

On luxury packages it is an optional £999 upgrade. On accessible packages it is included as standard.
