did some similar to those but different colour; queens ave en suite 24.jpg
these are a bit bigger but the same thing. cant see how they have so many lips on yours. maybe you got a bad batch and the tiler didn't let you know and set them all the same. some of them look like they're bowed . has he come back round to see it yet? would be interesting to hear what he has to say about it.

Then you stop fixing the tiles if you find a problem....

i agree totally, not trying to remove blame from the tiler, just wondering what he was thinking, and would be interested to his explanation when he returns to rectify the bad work. cant see how he made such a mess of a relatively simple job either.
just as an afterthought, you should check what adhesive he used as if it was tubbed you may be able to remove the tiles without damaging them. cant imagine with work like that that they'll be properly adhered to the substrate. if they come off easily you can then soak them in buckets of water and they should clean up nicely.

I've worked with these tiles before. Tiles are manhattan blanco from Porcelanosa.
Never had any bother with these being bowed. Don't like the fact you can see where all the tiles run through. Most of the jobs we have done, the customers want the tiles staggered. Looks 100% better in my opinion.
tiling though is shocking and needs to be stripped and redone properly.
