The tile not good at all. Tell him to stick with plumbing work and not tile.

It’s just a shoddy job, and I would feel insulted that he thought it was acceptable!

So I decided to see what the coverage was like on the tile (after advice from here). I have taken down tiles before so I was a little worried I'd take a chunk out the wall but this tile came off with (worryingly). very little effort. It felt like it was just attached on the right and left side.

Looking at all the tiles I am wondering if he applied the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ to the tiles not the wall as I can see now https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ through the gaps in the tiles.

Yes it is. I have a feeling he used PVA to prime the walls. Is that the wrong method? (excuse my ignorance)

(well most of the walls had new plasterboard put up and he tiled on that, but 2 walls were just as they were, painted)

Next question is it possible to remove https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ from tiles or best to start again and buy new ones?

The tiler was a world apart from the plumber. Told me the job was terrible and he's been telling the plumber not to tile for ages and would get found out. Has said all the tiles need to come down and be replaced also the walls probably weren't prepared properly.
