Just a thought - perhaps rather than Corian, something like Wilsonart or Meganite may be less costly? I worked at a distributor. Fabricators would spec Meganite or Wilsonart all the time for showers (even shower floors). As with any home improvement project, vette the fabricator carefully for best results! Good luck!

Soild surface choice for Shower Surround | Contractor Talk - Professional Construction and Remodeling Forum
April 21, 2016 - We've done some quartz showers/tub surrounds. 2cm/about 3/4" It gets glued to whatever MR substrate you use, even just wallboard. I'll install any panels such as onyx, swanstone etc in house but that quartz gets subbed to the supplier. In their showroom they even have a base done with quartz, basically just 4 big triangles. ... I built my solid surface pan and walls with 1/2" material.

Solid surface (corian?) in the shower. Can't find anyone to do it. Thoughts? Alternatives?
