Make the builder fix it, stop paying them until they do.

As a design decision, this sounds wonky and weird. Most backsplashes sit out from the wall. Trying to get that to sit flush and have the edges not crack is problematic, at best. Tiles and plaster expand differently with heat/moisture, which will lead to cracks.

Cracks aside, getting that to look nice when finished... that's just not going to happen.

They’re going to, I just want to make sure they’re doing it the right way. I grew up with bathrooms this way so I know from experience how nice it can look and that it works perfectly well.
