On the surface it looks like you might be onto a win.

Now to nit-pick cause it's what I'm good at. the backing is most likely nailed on 2mm thick fibreboard that probably ought to be replaced with something a bit more sturdy and able to absorb atleast a small amount of moisture and ought to be affixed with something more sturdy.

Ummmm actually that's all I can think of, but I have no experience so I'm sure someone else can point things out that I'm oblivious to.
