They look like a previous owner added them for a bit of privacy/feature. Perhaps they had a bench there. If you're sure they're not tied to the garage then knock em down and do what you want there.

:-) ;-)

I'd agree with your tiler, Topps grout is pretty good. I haven't used epoxy grout but I understand it's a pig to use and clean off tiles.

That's my weekend name ;-)

I encountered this on a bathroom a while back. I ripped it back, built a timber stud wall and rebuilt the bathroom from there.

When you say a while back, you mean years? Looks to me like the knots have dried out. How long after painting did the paint peel?

I always bin them and just use a decent clear silicone

I always ignore these type of emails, only one winner and that's the scammer. I had one who wanted to provide me leads, I go out and quote, pass quote to them so they can liaise with client, I assume to inflate my rate, and they pay me what I've quoted 30 days after job is done. They couldn't...

Used these many times for showers and wall mount taps. Takes a bit more prep to ensure it lines up with finished front but does the job...

I made some shelf's in the garage with offcuts I had. If you've only got small offcuts then either give away for free or skip them

Primer or a decent mist coat, as it's a bathroom get a decent bathroom paint too to finish off. Is the bathroom ventilated enough?

Looking at your picture it would appear that a mist coat wasn't applied before painting. If you took a scraper to that paint I think it would come off in sheets. You will have to remove what's loose before preceding

That should work, no harm going slightly longer too.

They're waney edge panels which have the strength of wet Weetabix when the ends are cut off

Most manufacturers state a bed of mortar. I've fitted loads as per their instructions and had no tray issues at all.

Bed your tray on whatever the manufacturer says to use - most trays I install tend to be on a bed of mortar. I always fit the trap to the pipework and test before fitting the tray, this gives reassurance that it's leak free. The trap is then secured from above when the tray is fully fitted...

If you can find the studwork internally you could use a piece of 4 or 6x1 across the studs to give you a decent surface to fix to

I normally use a cheap trade white Matt emulsion to mist coat. I prefer to use a 60/40 mix with water (40 water) but you'll get varying mix ratio's if you ask different people. I use a medium pile Harris roller. It'll splatter a lot so cover anything you want protected

Get yourself some toupret fine filler in powder form, around £10 for a box. It sands beautifully,, you'll have some left but it does keep well.

Silicone would work and allow any movement, laminate can move quite a bit though
