I am pretty sure the lights were the last thing to go in.

I don’t think so. They used their own spotlight thing when they were tiling.
There's the problem then 😢
B. S. says they should be in and working before tiling is started to avoid this sort of thing. A spot light is no good.
I come up against this far to often, bloody sparks can't be bothered to do them.
Tiler should of not done it.

Awful that you've had to go through this twice, get the bathroom company back in and ask them if they think it's acceptable.

Either those metro tiles have a really pronounced bevel or the down lights are really close to the wall. Have seen the same with under wall unit lights in kitchen. Every tile has to be 100% or the slightest variation will stand out.

Welcome back Craig
Only a fool would tile without the finished lighting being in. I understand a plasterer wouldn't as there is always another trade to cover in perfect finish😳😁

The positioning of those lights and the shadows they will cast even if the job is perfect and all the shadows are even it's still going to look crap now matter how well it's been done .
