Did u at any point watch him apply adhesive to the wall or tile?
Can u describe what he did?
To me those corner tiles look dot and dabbed!

I didn't see how he did it but here's a pic of one of the tiles that fell off when I wiped the walls down (as he asked me do for him) the next day

Unfortunately I wasn't given a shopping list, I looked into it all myself. I went to B&Q & Topps Tiles. I did buy a primer as well but I've looked at all the materials & it looks like it hasn't been used. Does this mean there's a high risk other tiles will come down later? I'm so worried about this

I'd put something in the bath to protect it and then try to lever a tile off next to one the gaps.

Can you post a picture of the back of the tiles that have come off.
just typing that up

Try pulling off the tiles around the area where the others have fallen off. If they come off just pulling them they're not stuck properly.

Unfortunately it looks like it all needs to come off and started again.

It doesn't look like you'll have too much trouble getting them off and you may well be able to clean the tiles and reuse them.

& another!! I'm starting to feel scared now

They all need to come off and need to be fixed by somebody who knows what they are doing. At least you haven't paid him.

This is the trouble, I haven't been able to have anything installed so I'm totally without a bathroom & now I don't know where to begin

Do u have a wall paper scraper or an old knife Nicky?
See if u can scrape the tiles clean. It's a dispersion adhesive and the longer it's exposed to the air the more it will dry, making removal more difficult.
If it scrapes away easily just take them off one at a time and clean them as u go.
Tedious but at least they can be reused.
Do u at least have a toilet and sink?

I have some tools I can clean them up with, yes. Upsettingly I don't have a toilet or sink because the tiler said the job is easier with everything taken out first. My plumber has told me over the phone how I can refit the toilet bowl but I've already taken the cistern etc to the tip so I'll be roughing it out for a while longer by the looks of things. I'm so heartbroken it's making me cry. I know firsthand that worse things happen in life but I was so excited about my new little bathroom.
Thank you so much to all of you for taking the time to reply to me & for all your help & advice. I guess I got my work cut out

Good luck
