Thank you for your reply. I don't see any point of going to the huge amount of trouble to scrape off all the failing paint if the whole thing is going to covered over with some kind of new splashback.
The problem with buying a splashback is that they are all the wrong size and shape to cover...
I recently changed the colour scheme in my kitchen. The decorator saw the area behind the hob was tiled with 4 inch ceramic tiles in colours that now clash with the new colour scheme. He then painted over the tiles with an oil based cream paint and it looked great.

Hi Champs it's not just the money, I found that when I changed my Yale lock it opened a can of worms as the cutout for the keep did not line up and I ended up paying money to a so called builder who made a right mess of it.

My shower (pic) runs off the CH/HW supply its not electric.
The left hand knob is the on/off and it's busted. Just goes round and round and round ...
I don't want to change the upright post that holds the shower head as I don't want to drill or fill holes in ceramic tiles.

The lady is doing the job right now, and has told me the walls are indeed greasy.
That guy is a total "thinks he knows-it-all" tosser, and I will never employ him again.
I have absolutely no idea, Dave. How can one tell? I hate the tree and can't wait to get rid.
What makes you ask? Have you any advice for killing the roots stone dead so they don't end up regrowing and pushing up the patio slabs?
