Hoping some one could point me in the right direction the bathroom wall isn’t plumb. The shower enclosure is in the trim at the bottom of the wall but boat at the top does a trim exist which is 2 part trim so one is fixed to the wall and the other is fixed to the screen don’t know if that makes sense
Thanks in advance
 
It’s fairly new bathroom fitted by an apparently professional plumber his plasterer boarded it and his tiler tiled it then he complained the walls weren’t plumb !

If the plumber supplied the plasterer and tiler then he is the main contractor and it is his problem.
 
Screens usually have 20mm of adjustment to allow for out of plumb walls.
Would never use plasterboard behind shower tiles , high failure rate .
 
And who is to blame for the fact that someone drilled a hole in the tile in the wrong place? (image 1).

That silicone work is shocking. It looks like they used tape but didn't manage to run a continuous section/length and pulled it off and didn't deal with the excess silicone.

Many, but not all, shower screens are designed to accommodate out of plumb walls. Can you take a photo from further away and one from the inside of the enclosure. Having looked at yours, you should not have a 5(?)mm gap between the glass and frame at the top.

Even if the walls were out, the wall frame should have been packed out.

I would not accept that. Have you paid in full?

Additionally, which "plasterboard" did they use, regular plasterboard rots when it gets wet. Cement type boards should have been used.
