Was the tiling done poorly here?

Good evening everyone,

I have a question for the experts. My bathroom is currently being retiled, and I noticed that the gap between the tiles in the corners is very uneven (sometimes up to 0.8mm). The craftsman said it doesn’t matter because everything will be sealed with silicone and you won’t see anything. I’m concerned that to seal the entire gap, a lot of silicone will have to be applied, which won’t look good visually. Also, when I compare it to other bathrooms, the gap there is clearly smaller. What do the experts say about this?

Best regards,
Patrick

I tile a lot myself and believe I do well, at least compared to what I see here. Were the tiles cut? That would be bad.

If it turns out this awkwardly, different formats should have been chosen. The walls also look very crooked. Something else is running besides water.

The question now is whether the preparatory work for the [Flisör] was okay, because he can't work magic. You can still compensate for half a centimeter with adhesive, after that it becomes critical.

Thank you very much for the feedback, yes the tiles were cut, that’s why I fear he didn’t spread it cleanly. I googled and found the following: ...When tiling inside corners, one tile edge must overlap the other.

New sorry, wrong unit given: the gap is 0.8 cm not mm

In the second picture, however, I think I can see that the wall is tilting backward. Could it be that the base plaster is that uneven? I think the wall is missing 2 to 3 cm. The tiler can no longer compensate for that; it would have needed to be replastered.
