If he was having trouble with the glaze chipping he should have tried different methods of cutting. Wet cutting, different blades etc.
He must of got confused what dog took method was

I'll give him 8.5 out of 10 for the mitres, 4 out of 10 for the cutting.
Even poorly glazed soft ceramics can be done cleanly with the right techniques and equipment.
Why the different grout around the trim? Is this already a second go?

No excuse for the chipping, just not using good tools or good practice.
A decent wet cutter will leave nearly a factory edge on soft ceramic.
A quality continuous rim blade on a grinder will do just as good with a steady hand.
A quality score and snap cutter with a wheel suitable for ceramic should be cutting with minimal chipping.
Even if the cutting tools let you down. A diamond pad, sanding block, or even the right grit of sandpaper will tidy the edge. All it takes is patience.
We see a lot worse in here, but your paying the bill, so if your not happy take IT up with him.
The customer has to take a part of the blame, but in my Veiw, you shouldn't advertise yourself to be able to do something you can't.

I've had the glaze literally flake of some cheap ceramics as I'm scoring them !

I had trouble with some of those mosaic looking tiles. The only way I could get a clean cut was with by wet cutting so every cut was done that way. Took longer but if that's the only way to get an acceptable finish so be it.
