Best cost effective tub / shower walls for apartments? Solid surface / tile?

Max Amillion

Our buildings all have tub shower combos that are standard 60” length. Looking for something cost effective for tub wall surrounds in apartment units with as little seams as possible. I do not like the flimsy plastic wall surrounds. I prefer a solid surface, tile or something similar like hotels do. Prefer each one of the 3 walls in the tub/shower combos to have no seams. I have not had any luck finding a single piece of tile or solid surface for the 60”x 60” (ish) main wall. 
I found these at Home Depot for only $82/piece (32”x64”). https://www.homedepot.com/p/MSI-Calgary-Onyx-32-in-x-64-in-P...
The pieces would cover each end of the tub/showers with no seams but I would have to use two of them for the main tub/shower wall... So 4 pieces total. The pretax cost would only be $328 so not too bad. Does anyone else have a better solution? What are you all doing for a good tub/shower surround in your units? I’m going for as little seams as possible.I  like the way hotels do their solid piecing but no clue where to get materials. I see solid surface kits for $800+ but I’m not wanting to spend that in apartments when I found these 4 tiles for $382. Guide me please!!
