I have a US keyboard by I'm using a British keyboard layout.
The US keyboard doesn't physically have the keys (backslash) and | (vertical bar).
I'd like to remap them to Alt # and Alt ~ respectively.
How can I achieve this?
I'm running Ubuntu Artful, which uses xkb.

It's not crystal clear what you mean, but possibly you want to edit the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb file and change the line
key <BKSL> [numbersign, asciitilde, dead_grave, dead_breve ] ;
to
key <BKSL> [numbersign, asciitilde, backslash, bar ] ;
Result:
Right Alt + # =>
Right Alt + Shift + # => |
