the cutting in doesn't look good as previously stated. the unibond adhesive(from b and q?) is diy imo. If he didn't want to supply materials he should have given you a shopping list and advised you to go to a tile shop. as for tiles coming off the wall, my gues would be he hasn't primed them first. doesn't look like a pro tiler's work to me
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

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

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.

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

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