I can tell you why this happened with us: because the general contractor simply did not allow other craftsmen before acceptance. Completely removing the tiling work would have meant no fine installation, only the sealing and rough installation would have been included. Warranty in these two potentially damage-prone locations ((water damage) would have been lost. Getting a craftsman appointment directly after acceptance? Questionable. Even if, it also takes some time which means appointment delays, terminating the old apartment would be harakiri, double rent payments. And we would then have had to take over the construction management, i.e., the interfaces with the drywall installer, electrician, and plumber. All that during a critical construction phase... no, thanks!
Ok, 2 bathrooms... I assumed there was only one.
However, the more interesting question is why you chose the general contractor.
