If you’re fitting 4 bathroom wall panels (aqua boards) in a small bathroom, you’ll usually need a bit more than just the boards and 4 end caps.
Typical extras you normally need are:
Panel adhesive (grab adhesive suitable for bathroom panels)
Silicone sealant / sanitary silicone
Trims:
End caps (you already mentioned these)
Internal corner trims if panels meet in a corner
Possibly an external corner trim depending on layout
Panel joining trims (only if boards join mid-wall rather than tongue-and-groove directly together)
Screws or staples (sometimes used temporarily while adhesive sets)
Sealant gun
Cleaning wipes / methylated spirits for silicone cleanup
You may also need:
Batons/ply backing if walls are very uneven
Waterproof tape or membrane if going directly into a shower area and walls are poor
The panel company is probably assuming:
Your walls are flat
Boards are tongue-and-groove
You only need visible edge finishing around openings
Before ordering, check:
Are the panels tongue-and-groove?
Are you panelling inside a shower enclosure or just general bathroom walls?
How many internal corners does the room have?
Are the walls plaster, tiles, or bare studs?
For a typical small bathroom, most people end up ordering:
4 boards
2–4 tubes adhesive
2–4 tubes sanitary silicone
Internal corner trims
End caps

The panel company is probably correct, but it depends on the layout of the room.
As well as end caps, you may require internal corner trims, adhesive and sanitary silicone. If the walls are flat and the panels are tongue and groove, installation is usually quite straightforward.
Always check the manufacturer's fitting instructions before purchasing.

Besides the 4 Aqua Boards and end caps, you’ll also need a good waterproof adhesive to fix the panels to the wall. Depending on the layout, you may also need internal or external corner trims, a finishing trim, and colour-matched silicone to seal all joints and edges. Make sure the walls are clean, flat, and dry before installation. If it’s a small bathroom with a simple layout, that should be everything you need
