Thanks for the tips. I had seen that California Patch method before (just wasn't aware of the name). I want to try it for some of the smaller patches (door handles and no door stop etc).
The battens are pretty close to the edge (probably about an inch) and the right side is over the edge of a stud, but if I notice movement, i can easily redo. This is in the "utility room" which is basically just a small hallway before the kitchen and we're nowhere near ready to decorate, so happy to be experimenting.
Actually, thinking about it, it is just the right height and location for someone to have backed their arse into the wall getting something out of the washing machine. Although, it's not a narrow space so they were either pissed and fell, or particularly stubborn duvet came loose as they were wrestling it out of the Beko.
