Can't understand why you would dot metro tiles. ( or any other) it would be near impossible to keep them flat.

The tiles are coming off because the walls have not been primed, then the dispersion adhesive had all the moisture pulled out of it by the wall.

Soak the tiles in water, this should soften the adhesive down then it will be easier to scrape off, they should come up like new, Make sure the next guy that puts them on primes the wall with an acrylic primer or SBR diluted 2 to 1 and trowels the wall with adhesive, not dot and dab the tiles them like the last guy, cement adhesive will always be better that tub ready mix,. How much was the tiler going to charge for the job, he wasn't a property maintenance tiler buy any chance.

It seems only a few have been dotted & dabbed which seems a bit random, I wonder if they fell off & he perhaps did that as a bodge it fix...
I've checked other tiles now & they seemed to have fixed much better in other areas. When my plumber took down all the original tiling, it pulled down some of the wall surface, leaving the old lath & plaster frame exposed. The tiler then used a gyproc drywall bonding adhesive to fill that in & he tiles straight onto that. That seems to be where the problem is worst

Thanks for the tips, I will definitely do that. I bought him a BAL SBR primer but that's sitting unopened next to the grout bags. He was charging £*** & said 2.5 days. It's about 14 sq m of walls & 2.5 sq m of floor. He's a carpenter by trade but swore he knew what he was doing when I asked if this is something he's competent with

Sorry prices not allowed in public forum
Not to worry tho, but had to be removed.
