    I think my plastic bakki is made from polypropylene
    but if you just needed a cover why not nip down to your nearest b&q (or equivalent) and just cut a piece of polycarbonate for the top? Cover & insulation.

    If you make it out of perspex/acrylic you can relatively easily bend it to get the top bend shape and use a high strength glue to make the sides

    I just have piece of twin wall poly carb, just bent it to make V shape to go over the spay bar.
    it was only meant to be temporary but have never changed it.

    Google “custom stainless Bakki showers”
    The chap (Nigel??) could probably knock you something up or maybe have a word with Markini(?) on here who makes the stainless drums.
