I installed a 32×32-feet inch shower pan. The shower has walls on three sides. I was planning to install glue-up plastic panels for the shower walls, but all the ones I can find at the big box stores are either shockingly expensive or won't fit.
So, I'm wondering if there's a generic type of material I could cut to size and install using construction adhesive. For instance, could I just buy 4×8-foot PVC sheets?
I know I could also do wall tile on cement board, but this is a rental property and I don't want to spend a lot of time and money.

After having a number of shower walls deteriorate in just a few years, I paneled a stall shower with an underlayment of cement board and covered it with fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) wall board and corner molding (links are for reference purpose only).
The project cost less than US$100 and has held up for ~15 years. In fact, the shower base needs cosmetic touch-up, but the walls are fine, and water infiltration has been eliminated.
