    3sqm of kitchen tiles - how much

    Dont think you will get a tiler price this up per m2 as they would with a floor or bathroom job. Most i know would price this as a day rate job. So whatever he needs to earn to cover his/hers costs for the day. (price would vary depending where you were in the UK too)

    Tiles or Shower Wall?

    As a tile only retailer im going to defend the tile option here @NewShoes ;) Best way to prevent leaks is makes sure the prep is right. Invest in a tanking kit to prevent damage to plasterboard, grouts have come on along way over the years, you can even seal the grouts with a grout protector...

    New grout problems

    Sounds like the grouts been mixed incorrectly causing efflorescence. Universeal Grout Rescue Colour & Seal (what you described as the pen) is a problem solver in this situation. (ps, never seen efflorescence with TM Grout 3000, best grout available IMHO)
