I should have been more constructive from the start, for that I apologise. It’s certainly not technically right, but I dare say it’s better prep than what a lot of people do with ply wood etc. It is strange that some one spends the money on backerboads then doesn’t fit them right. I think it’s his manner and attitude that’s really got to you here, I can’t see that getting any better when you throw a bit of criticism in the mix..

The fact you haven’t paid him anything helps your situation.
Tell him you have been/going to the citizens advice bureau, have/will be getting a contractor who you can work with and rely on and remind him you are the customer. As others any materials he’s used will account for the day he’s spent messing up - unless he wants you to take the legal action route.
Oh and don’t forget to mention that you’ve asked your brother ( who works for the Tax Office) for advice.

may i asky why are you doing it backwards?

getting the floor tiled and then x amount of days later getting the walls skimmed / plastered

the floors going to end up in a mess unless really covered etc then there's still a possibility of damage

really it should go

strip out (fully),
first fix elecs and any chased in plumbing (if boxing in this isnt needed),
plaster / skimmed,
first/second fix plumbing eg bath installed etc,
tiled,
second fix plumbing and elecs,
final snagging eg sealing etc.

^^^^ as a rough guide

The new bath is in and everything else due to be fitted back next weds after the plasterer coming on Tues.
The reason the plastering is being done while floor tiles are being fitted is because it’s the soonest I could get this particular person out he’s fully booked. He did some work at my mums house very clean tidy and good job and great reviews in general. I asked if I would need to delay floor tiling he said no he tapes everything off and to be fair the floor was meant to be finished so good to walk on etc but yes I would of rather it was more organised
