Cheers Kop

I tell you I sit comfortably in my lane, doing taps and toilets and small leaks and stuff like that. I don't take on stuff I am not experienced in and then along comes my mum wanting a refurb and it's not like I can say "get another plumber" is it?

Looks like I've already been a dumbass. But I will follow your suggestion and then it can buy me some time.
 
Update:
Set an industrial rental dehumidifer on the walls for a few days which dried them up nice. Got the walls done and now all three have been plastered with the stud wall boarded then skimmed.
So my question is, since it's a roll top bath, is it possible as an option to just paint the walls? Or would you always have at least a splashback area tiled? I've seen roll tops fitted in rooms which are decorated just like normal rooms but don't know how good an idea it is.
Just looking at options.
Thanks

I would guess that is likely only a good idea when the bath can sort of sit a good distance away from walls. Thing is she is not having any sort of screen or curtain or wall mounted shower riser. It's just going to be a bath with shower attachment so all it would be is the sort of steam in the air you get from bath and showering rather than direct water on wall action.
 
Your choice really mate the steam will affect the paintwork and splashes will show I would overboard with shower panel I think just the bath area or even half height if you want.
