Not sure what 'tile battens' are...but any wood/composite, if thin enough, will bend...
Kerf the battens - Cut about half the depth on the inside of the curve at ,say 200mm intervals. Easy to do with a sliding mitre saw - excuse for a new useful tool, perhaps fo Farhers day :-)

Steam them for half an hour. Use a suitable length of plastic soil pipe, stand it more or less vertically with a few battens inside, loosely plug the top with cloth, feed from the bottom with a hose from a wallpaper stripper.
