The tiles past the doorway are deeper 1 side than the other. The left and right walls are square, but the back wall is possibly out a bit but that shouldn't accept made much of a difference, particularly as I made information technology clear the far end (in the photograph) would exist covered by boxing

In his defence he has washed a great job on the wall tiles - I just think he had a slight moment on the floor

Looking at the photos the room seems well out of square if he squared off the dorsum wall the doorway would look awful.

I personally don't call up hes washed a bad job at all.
The small cut to the brick wall isnt platonic, just, in a room thats clearly out of foursquare and such a small space too, the slightest deviation will stand out.
Nonetheless, consider how y'all're going to use this room. If the cuts in the doorway were straightened to the door wall so you'd be stood in the shower and the grout lines would expect peed looking out of the shower. To which I recollect would be 100 times worse. Youre not going to walk in to a cloakroom staring right down at your feet are you?
Who built the studwork around the shower?

If you straighten off the brick wall it will look massivly out in the doorway. It looks out both ways if you know what i mean 
Only if you insist on taking them up, hammer , bolster and striking em .
2 means they will come upwardly
1 in pieces
2 fully
All depends on how well they are stuck

And then what yous're saying is when stood in the shower the grout line is not running at xc degrees to the tray. From what you lot have said it tin just run at either 90 degrees to the tray or parallel with either door wall or back wall, the tiler couldn't brand all of those 3 things happen.

To me it looks at 90° to the shower tray. Hard to tell actually from a moving picture. But that is what I would of led from. Final thing you'd eant is to be standing in the shower and it running out downwardly the middle of the flooring.

When
Peradventure I'thousand not explaining information technology clearly enough, or its just something I'yard beingness fussy about. Still, if you stand in the shower the grout lines don't signal straight alee but slightly to the left, with cuts getting smaller on the wall to the left, and cuts getting bigger to the wall on the correct.
The small cuts by the brick wall don't carp me as they will be covered by boxing anyway.How can yous tell the walls are out? From a layman's signal of view, it looks like the whole lot would have looked straight if he had worked off either the door or brick wall.
The timer admitted himself to that information technology was out, so whilst I practise welcome further discussion does anyone as well know how piece of cake it is to remove the old tiles without damaging the backer board?
Many thanks
When y'all tile a floor you have to square it off of something looking at your photos if he squared off the brick wall it would look out of square in the doorway same on the reverse wall if he squared off the door wall looks to me similar he's tried to avrage it out on both walls not worring virtually the pocket-size cut on the brick wall every bit it's being boxed in......

If he comes square off the dorsum wall chances are the tiles volition be short to the furthest signal away on the door wall So something has to give.

I'grand sorry to say put putting down a square like that proves nothing.
it appears the tray has been installed square off the door wall. There is boxing on the opposite shower enclosure wall which I presume is to hide piping work and make the opening the correct size for the tray. That is not to say that the long brick wall is square like you lot possibly call up. Get a long stright edge say 2m and but that hard against the tiles on the boxing. does that brick wall run truthful?
To be honest what e'er you do you are going to have something that doesn't line up. Once you place the toilet against that back wall, the pan is going to become at a funny bending.. unless of course you build boxing behind it and foursquare the toilet with the shower... but hang on, you're and then going to see the meridian of the boxing run out... and so on
I notice y'all don't have any waste material for the bowl. I presume you lot're going to run this along the wall and in to the macerator backside the toilet... is that waste going to be boxed in?
You're looking at it in it's worst possible state every bit the room clear. By the time the WC and basin are installed you're going to see much less of the floor and other items to confuse the eye and not see merely how un-square the room is.
If y'all wanted everything to run truthful then the room should have been altered beforehand. You lot accept chosen to employ the brick wall every bit a feature and as such everything should have been engineered off that. Be information technology with dot and dabbing plaster board or edifice studwork... altering door frames etc if need be. However seeing as y'all are tight for infinite as it is I guess that wasn't an option.
I'g not saying what your tiler has done is what I would take done, every bit unless I was in the room figuring out just exactly what walls were out and which aren't and then it's a hard for anybody to say if he went with the least offensive layout. How you've used the square doesn't show us much as it's been used incorrectly like I say.
The quality of tiling looks OK from the pictures... the silicone job non so sadly.

The biggest mistake the tiler made was not to involve y'all in the set out......Nonetheless that's non always possible.

With everything said, if you lot knock the tiles round 30mm so the broken grout lines will then look out visually looking into the room. Which could be a fleck more than cruddy.
It'south a tight space, as CR has said, once it's all fitted upwards y'all will not see any deviation.
It's rare that whatever room is 100% square and truthful. Personally I retrieve your tiler has done a reasonable job.
Detect a directly line in the door fashion and fix your square down. If it runs true to the grout lines there, then there is no doubt your room is wonky donkey.

The cuts in the door are too shot anyway, they should be on the outside of the doorstop,

Its out of foursquare , if he straightens off the brick wall information technology volition be out more than at the door, its running out both opposites , even the back wall runs out as well looking at the pics.
BUT he could of made information technology look better on the eye from the shower, but it would of been well out at the door (im only going off the pics)

I remember it's hard for anyone to to brand a acreate observation as to what's gone on without being there and looking at it.
Going by the photo's the room dosnt look foursquare but who knows...
