Just a quick update the builders turned up I told um that there work so far is unacceptable and the area manager has been informed and he will be coming later pictures has been sent to him as well.
This resulted in a huge argument claiming that there work was good enough and won't be seen once tiles are on. I asked about the wonky ness of it and got accused of jumping the gun that the bathroom would of been perfect once fitted.
End result they walked off claiming that they won't be spoken to like that and how they've had to cancel more important jobs to do this one.
The area manager turned up told them to go home and there services will no longer be used by the store.
Anyway there sending someone out to reinstate the loo and bath and hopefully fix the boarding and tile tommrow but there desperately looking for a tiler as they've got no one at mo till Monday

good on you insist that the boards are taken off there is no way the tiles would sit right on those reveals the margins are all wrong keep us updated with what happens
Ahem....!
EN520 or BSEN520 is a British/Euro Standard for plasterboards, not necessarily MR boards.
Looking at your pictures I would say these boards are not MR boards and that is an issue, if that product was stipulated to be used.
This is not a simple case of that once tiled, it will look okay, the quality of the existing work is extremely poor and I would have grave concerns whether the boards are suitably securely installed to take the weight of tiles.
I would strongly suggest that you insist that the installation be ripped out and started a fresh by competent tradesmen.
