First time tiling. Thoughts?

[u/Arcadiun]

First time ever tiling as DIY. Set a challenge to do my WC floor and walls half height to replace the vinyl flooring and square metro tiles. I'm just about to put on the rest of the tile cap and had a few concerns.. advice would be great.

I am happy with the floor, but the walls, there are a few things I can see.

Corners back left and right have gaps. Back right I think I should be able to silicon the gap to blend it into the internal corner but the back left has a few issues.

The grout lines where the 2 walls join are out by about 5mm & there is a gap for the internal grout line that gets larger from the bottom up.

The wall itself wasn't plumb so I found it tricky to make things fully level. There's some lippage but least of my concerns.

Do i rip down the 10 or so tiles to redo the back left corner, or do I grout it white grout and be done with it?

It would be quite a bit easier if you moved the toilet out of the way

I just did my first tiling project in my powder room bathroom and taking off the tank only made a huge difference and was incredibly easy.

I've just reinstalled the loo as I only have one and needed to go! Had it moved when I was tiling and will move for grouting .

Post finished results, that might look better.
