NotThamesWater-
Yup!
If I'd seen this coming I'd have gotten someone else to do the whole thing. Well, perhaps that's unfair because I actually did see it coming, hoped for the best and made plans for the worst.
There was always going to be a need for a pro to do the tiling, but that was to be done after all the cabinets and worktops, so wasn't on the critical path. In a stroke of luck, I found someone who can come tomorrow to price the job and he has the afternoon free which might give enough time to deal with the short-term plastering requirements. Here's hoping.

Decided to clean up (with the delicate use of a cold chisel) the edges of a small area of plaster that needed patching behind our sink. Lots of it came off. It wasn't bonded very well. Now its no longer a small patching job :/
