Pricing ideas for replacing shower linings

I have 2 full sized sheets, seratone? floor to ceiling and full width which is something like 1.5 m. They are rotting at the bottom and both need replacing due, I think, to water getting between the board and the plastic fitting strip at the bottom where there is a small gap. I cannot do this myself so will need a builder and am asking as I have a clause in my insurance policy restricting repairs to those only over $1000.

I don't think it would be covered by insurance because it will be gradual damage.

If it can easily be replaced, a builder should be able to do it for under $1000 anyway.

Mmmm thanks for that been there before and had not considered that. Bugger.

Another question as I really cannot afford to replace these linings due to so many unexpected bills, e.g. dentist, (costly). Is it possible to remove a portion of the linings at the bottom, say 6" to 12", put in a new plastic joiner and replace just the rotting linings leaving it looking the same on both walls.

probably as much work as replacing the lot
