In Spain's 2025 tourism market, every day a bathroom is closed for works means lost revenue. Engineered-stone shower surrounds let hotels and B2B distributors refurbish rooms in 48 h by eliminating grout lines and moisture. This guide shows how artificial-stone bathroom walls reduce CAPEX, comply with Código Técnico DB-SUA and lift the ROI of your next hotel project.

Mineral-resin + ATH solid-surface panels install directly over existing tile, avoiding costly demolition. According to Catalonia's Construction Technology Institute (ITeC 2024), labour hours fall 28 % when masonry and primers are removed. Joint-free surfaces also cut mould-related claims—critical for maintaining 4- to 5-star status under UNE-182501.
Specify 8–10 mm panels, density ≥ 1.7 g/cm³ and impact resistance ≥ 6 kJ/m² (UNE-EN 14617). Secure just-in-time supply from Valencia or Alicante to save 12 % on domestic freight. Request B-s1-d0 fire-reaction certificate and ISO 22196 antibacterial treatment for B2B bathroom-wall cladding in NH or Meliá chains.
Room-Mate Group replaced 1995 bathrooms with 900 × 2 400 mm commercial shower-wall panels Spain. Two fitters per room cut downtime from 7 to 1.5 days, releasing 510 extra room-nights that generated +€187 k in revenue. The purchasing director validated an ROI below 11 months through labour savings and a higher ADR for “newly refurbished” rooms.
Step 1: Digitise drawings in BIM and order prefabricated panels with pre-cuts for Grohe or Tres tapware.
Step 2: Agree with your wholesale shower-panel supplier on a ≤ 3-week lead time and 5 % spare units.
Step 3: Install dry with SP-45 aluminium profile; seal vertical joints with MS-polymer per DB-HS1.
Step 4: Hand over 24 h watertight test certificate plus 10-year warranty; this accelerates release of the provisional retention to the developer.
Banco Sabadell and similar lenders offer 3–7 year furniture-leasing for non-structural assets. By classifying artificial-stone bathroom walls as “reusable cladding”, VAT can be financed interest-free over 12 months, freeing cash for other hotel areas. Combine this with the Secretaría de Estado de Turismo's Renovation Plan (2024-2026) to cut upfront outlay by up to 40 %.
Key Stat: Spain's commercial wet-wall panel market will grow at 8.3 % CAGR 2024-2028 (Statista Construction Report), driven by 42 000 hotel bathrooms scheduled for upgrade in the next four years.
