It's not a wet room but it's a second floor bathroom which was previously leaking so decided to go belt and braces.
The wall tanking is the paint on stuff, not sure what they'll be doing for the floor.

Tanking doesn't really feel like the right term, then. It's more like they are making a bathroom that doesn't leak where water is / should be, in the way a regular bathroom should be.
Suspect if you've paid for actual tanking, this will be a problem.
Props for Outcome over Output though on the fitters' part.

No chance that they are now putting in a mat over the tanking to stop the tiles cracking? I guess I would expect fully tanked not to require a shower tray in any case but a modern tiled bathroom could easily have a tanking sheet under the whole thing with a tiling mat on top wherever it's having tiles.
I have never tanked a bathroom though so couldn't say for sure. It does seem logical that tanking would cover the whole floor and come up the walls a little bit though.
