My shower stall now has marble,it is poreous and seems to keep all sorts of
dirt & bacteria, l am redoing the stall and l wanna know what product to
use so l do not have this problem again

ceramic tiles.

Depends on the look you want
All natural stones are going to require sealing
There are a lot of porcelain or ceramic tiles available in every
imaginable color and they require less maintenance and many look very much
like real stone, additionally they will have coordinated accent pieces and trim that really make the installation special
If you are going to use a tile, use a ceramic tile. It can be
found in many colors & an patterns that resemble stone. It is not porous
but the grout needs to be kept sealed.
From a practical standpoint, cultured marble makes the best choice. It is
attractive but impervious to mold & mildew. It is easy to clean & comes in
very large sheets so there are few seams. It doesn't look as upscale as granite or stone but I would not every use anything else. There is no grout to seal & keep free of mold & mildew. We have granite counter tops in our master bath but the shower stall is all cultured marble & glass. A breeze to keep clean.
keep in mind ceramic is very hard to cut
If you put granite , marble or travertine you need to seal
those tiles witl Mirical selant , Ceramic does not have to be sealed
