With your reply you've asked your own question ,but as you mentioned you will be recording it do like it's been said previously by 2 other members it would be adversable you inform them if your course if action

will let them know in advance just in case. even if they're aware it probably can't hurt and covers my arse as well i guess

If they are incompetent worker, don't have them back... Only use competent skilled professionals so that you guarantee the job is done properly. I've been in the tiling trade for 20+ year's.

I guess my reluctance comes from how I could accomplish the refixing of my tiles at no further expense to myself. Can I force the contractor to hire and pay a sub-contractor of my choosing (whilst refusing to pay any premium) or would I have to pay the professional tiler separately and then recoup the costs from the contractor?

Just ask your contractor / tiler to send the proper tiler back if he refuses, you could get in touch with the TTA who have a service where they will come inspect the work your contractor/ tiler has done do a detailed report on in & if they say it's a poor job you can if you want procede with legal proceedings of you want. You have consumers rights ,oh there's a cost to the TTA's visit

I actually had a formal assessment carried out by a specialist tile consultant whose services include being a expert witness so if I wanted to go down that route I certainly have the ammunition.

I've given them the opportunity to redo the hallway (only about 10 900x900 tiles) and if they don't them properly I will certainly insist they hire someone else.
