Tiling

Wotcha MSEF peeps.
I've got a tiler in at the moment who's doing our bathroom (subbie from the bathroom fitter who we've engaged to sort it out).
On Monday he skim coated the walls including a fairly major skim coat on the outside wall. Today I got back to find he's tiled over the skim coat including a large area which wasn't properly dry.
How big an issue is this likely to be?
As far as I am concerned you don't tile at all over wet plaster, you give it as long as you can to dry but at least till it goes light pink...
A tad concerned.
Any thoughts?

It doesn't seem to bother them when they do it on the "DIY SOS" tv programme.I can afford anything that I want.
Just so long as I don't want much.0 -
Shouldn't be done. None of the big adhesive manufactors would warranty this. Most stipulate dry and then primed before adhesive appliedHi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure0
