Thats LAZY tiling. People can't be arsed doing a proper job rather than being unable to I think!

Someone else my say i'm wrong but I would get the tiles off prime the area then uase some rapid set adhesive as had been recommended to level the area, let it dry and then fix the tiles using something like Bal whitestar.

Hello mate.I been at this game for 25yrs now,and if your as inexpierenced as you say then RAPIDset IS NOT THE THING FOR YOU,you`ll get in a right old mess not to mention the £20 or so thats rock hard in thebottom of your bucket.
If i were you i`d dot and dab plasterboard over the top of it unibond it and tile over with some nice user friendly wall tile adhesive.thiner the bed easier it will be for you .ps.dont use crosses to space your tiles there crap ,get spacer pegs much easier cheers man.cameron young

What do you think, is rapid set the way to go. there seems to be mixed opinions.

I wouldn't mind, but the last kitchen splashback wall I did was a hell of a lot more uneven than yours, holes and deep dents everywhere and I still got a perfectly level finish.

Poor tiling dosen't really come into it, it's far worse than some home DIY jobs I've seen.

As for the tiles being chipped like that on all the cuts, looks like he was using a crap wet saw blade.
