In answer to the question, no this sort of tiling is not acceptable.
Why oh why do people who are painters, plasterers etc, etc keep thinking they can tile like its a an unskilled profession?
Bad setting out, corners not level etc.
If your not happy with the finish, and I know for a fact that if it was mine I certainly wouldn't be - DONT PAY HIM.
Hopefully then the people who are responsible for this shoddy work will get the message.
It's just a shame, as its costly and stressful I'd imagine for the customer.

Very true there!!! My dad agreed to have the bathroom done by him as he was recommended by another relative, personally I would have used a dedicated SKILLED tiler, not a painter and decorator. He has just done the floor, Ill put a picture up for you to see. This just keeps getting more hilariously bad !!!! Look at this!!!
