BATHROOM TILES

BATHROOM CURRENTLY BEING FULLY REFURBISHED.TILER HAS AFFIXED TILES WITH 5 BLOBS OF ADHESIVE ON EACH TILE THROUGHOUT.THIS HAS RESULTED IN SPACES BETWEEN THE TILES AND WALLS AND THE BLOBS SHOWING FAINTLY THROUGH THE WHITE WALL TILES.I DON\\\'T THINK THIS ACCEPTABLE AND WILL THERE BE PROBLEMS PARTICULARLY IN THE SHOWER AREA? WILL THIS COMPROMISE THE FITTING OF ACCESSORIES SUCH AS SHOWER SCREENS, TOWEL RAINS?
ANY ADVICE GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGED.

Good point gus321123.
Poppaz, make sure they dont Popp-off

The problem with not getting good coverage on the back of the tiles to be fixed will have pockets of air between the back of your tiles and your substrates which will eventually hold moisture and then start coming away from your walls.
