Depends on the state. Grew up in MA, bought and sold several houses there. The inspectors went DEEP, removed covers, actually investigated things, and were allowed to do so. In Texas, the pre MLS reports and buyer inspections are laughably bad. The shit I found immediately after closing that absolutely would have been noted by my inspector in MA were missed by two inspectors in Texas. Turns out, it's because they aren't allowed to remove things like switch and outlet covers. All they can do is say "Switch doesn't seem to do anything, contact electrician" when simply removing the cover will reveal that the asshats who built the house used the quick wire slots in the back of the switches and outlets and they had cracked over time leaving the wire loose in the box. $1, 2 minute fix for anyone with a brain.

I've only seen ONE bench in a shower that wasn't covered in bottles and shower products. It was in a resort hotel. In Thailand. It was a steam shower. The bench was for boning. I know this because we boned on it as soon as the concierge left after showing us how to turn on the steam shower. There was probably a camera in there, because I'm certain that's what everyone does in that shower. But yeah, I agree with the others that a removable teak bench would be your best bet at this point. I know it's shitty to have a plan and completely forget said plan, but aside from ripping out the work you've already done, this is your move.
