My 1st Job Half tiled wall around bath- want to tile the rest as adding shower. Advice on prep please

[Spare Tool]

For the sake of 10 tiles stripping it off and starting again would be best way, hard to tell from pic but does the corner of the bath comes past the window? If it does its a non starter anyway as there will be nothing to attach a screen to, unless i spoze you could use a shower curtain but they're not the best..

May be putting the shower at the other end with new direct feed.

Keep in mind (if the shower is going opposite end to the tap end) that the user will be standing quite far away from the shower due to the slope of the Bath back rest. Showers are meant to go at the tap end of a Bath.

As a DIY job, I suppose you could just tile above the existing tiles. A professional would want you to strip out and start again, including tanking.

My opinion is to do it once and do it right.

Might *just* be room to put a screen in. I think we will probably remove the tiles and tank the whole area for the shower...as you say do it once, do it right! Not worth the risk. Will it be possible to save any of them do you think? Or in your experience is it hard to get tiles off in one piece?

Cheers
