Answer the call a year later — a hollow tile, a shade difference, a grout that stained — from the batch numbers and the prep you actually did.
Tilers, bathroom and kitchen fitters, and builders recording a subcontracted tiling job.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One tiling job: each area's substrate and preparation, and the tile, adhesive and grout that went on it, with their batch numbers.
The tub's figures; your batch numbers. Drying times, bed thickness and which adhesive suits which substrate are on the tub and in the tile maker's guidance — write in the ones you followed. The batch numbers are the point: a shade difference or a failed bond is traced to a batch.

Yes. Tiles from different batches can differ in shade and size, and a bond failure is a batch question before it is anything else. The box is gone by the time it matters.
