i would like to mention your asking some of the best tilers in the uk on appropriate finish, they didn't qoute, so there finish will be different along with there price. I would not be happy with this finish no one would. If you would like the best finish possible there's tilers on here that can do it for sure so you could have a look for a trusted advisor near you.
As far as lippage at the tap possibly could remove the tile and sit a new one in, its hard to gauge without inspecting to see if it's one tile high or low. The window cuts should be redone properly but can your tiler do that and if he can why not in the first place because they can be a lot better than that.
If you could have a look at some of his other work to see what it's like that should give you an idea of what you have paid for (maybe) I hope you get everything sorted like others on here will agree it's upsetting to see this workmanship.
That's a bit of an assumption, where's your proof of that?

Haha really only have to look at some of the runners up of the tta awards and then look at the likes of any trusted advisor on here, it's not an assumption it's an opinion I'd love to see mosaic work better than @MissTiler if that's possible and I'd like to see mitred glass/porcelthin better than @3_fall please bring them to the table so we can all benefit I just haven't seen anything that trumps there work sorry if I idolise them p.s I'm a tiler not an English lecturer.

@aytiling really??
Have I miss understood you?
Matt's "proof" is there for all to see and industry and forum awards are evidence to back it all up!
I'd say your in a very small minority of people who would question the ability and creditability of the craftsmanship of the fore mentioned!
If you've made a mistake with your comments now would be a good time to say so, otherwise lay your better work on the table for all to judge!

To be fair, unless you know someone (and most of us tiling nerds have met up) and you know their work and reputation, then a few badges on a forum "could" be a bit of an assumption.

Anyway, as I like to say: "I'm not the best, but I'd definitely say I'm in the top one!" :p

You are the top one along with others on here to be honest meeting them never changed my opinion on there work

yes, even I am the number one in my neighborhood.
(They are the only tiler in the neighborhood).
For this, they are number one.
honestly speaking, I do not consider myself a great tiler.
But behind me there is a long row of tilers.
This is what I say, because in front of me,
I see very few heads :bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb::bomb: ahah

Where's the photos impish?

If she sees this, she'll probably kill me for my comments!
Just an example, cutting the walls to slip the skirting tops underneath. It took an absolute and, and in my opinion (at first) is complete overkill.
I Have to admit though, it was worth the time and effort in the end.

I can't be the only one that free cuts these? I don't dream of scrubbing them 1st.

Anyhow as mentioned above it isn't an acceptable finish. If the tiler had any pride in his work he wouldn't have left that finish in the 1st place.

Hope you can get it resolved, best of luck!
