We've had those is this flat since we bought it (5yrs). I always intended on ripping it out if we redid the bathroom, but never got round to it. It's fine, easy to clean and doesn't look too bad. If I wanted something easy to install I'd go for it.

Cheers. I’m going to try and replace the backer board with Stixall and then retile it.
Probably making it a longer job but it’ll work out cheaper and I won’t have to throw a sheet of plastic away.

Looking for some advice on doing a quick fix on a bathroom that will be getting ripped out in a few months.
These tiles finally gave way in the night, with something of a clatter. They seem to have been stuck partly on to old tiles and partly on to some sort of fibre board backing.
It doesn’t need to look nice. I just want something that is waterproof.
I was thinking about simply sticking some Perspex over that area and sealing with silicone.
Is there anything else is can use to seal it up? I suppose I could put the tiles back on and regrout. It looks like there’s a primer specifically for painting onto old tiles to create a key.
