Thanks for all the advice. I wanted to show him the door but my husband wants to give him a chance to put things right. Yesterday's cuts seem somewhat smoother but there are still some issues.
1 Could the tiling under the sloping ceiling have been done better?
2 The holes. They're rubbish aren't they?
3 Should those two pipes be notched in from the sides like that?
4 Anyone know what's going on in the corner?
I still don't think he's using enough adhesive. Surely it should be visible along the edge under the window for example.
My husband wants to give him a chance to finish it properly but the list of tiles to be recut is so long not to mention the cost of the tiles.
He has revised the number of additional tiles required down to 6 from 14. I ordered 10% over for cuts and wastage and he is closing in on 20% before he recuts any of the tiles.
We paid him £200 yesterday (he had asked for £400 and husband wanted to pay £300). I'm in Berkshire. It is 13sqm of tiling and this chap's quote was £650 including adhesive and grout (I think it was originally £750 excluding). We had another tiler quote the same amount excluding adhesive and grout and a kitchen fitter quoted £450. Am I not paying enough? We got 3 quotes and went with the most expensive on the basis of his good reviews.
