Our tiler made a complete mess of our kitchen last week, when I asked him how he would rectify the problems (chipped tiles etc) he walked out, refusing to finish the job.
I removed the tiles on Saturday, thankfully the adhesive had yet to set (despite the tiles being on for four days) so the tiles pretty much lifted off.
The wall beneath is not bad but is a little uneven in places. I could get it skimmed but don't want to wait the time it takes for this to dry prior to tiling. So I was thinking of lining the wall with 3mm ply on battens to remove the unevenness.
Does this sound ok to do? Any advice would be appreciated as I intend to do the tiling myself now and want to make it as easy as possible.
(The tiler said he would get rid of any unevenness in the walls with additional adhesive however he just tiled as if the walls were perfectly flush so you can imagine the result.)
