Is that where the tap fittings were?
Are you running another row of tiles above the skirting (1st row of vertical tiles)? If so, you may find that the plaster set over the hard wall needs to be scored with a screwdriver for better purchase of the adhesive.
Otherwise the tiles are only glued to the paint, which may come away if previous coats were not prepped properly.

I'm with you on that one, the surface must be pourus enough for the adhesive to stick properly!
Although that dose look like unpainted hard plaster render where the vanity unit was, which is fine for sticking tiles. As is unpainted drywall and fibre-cement sheat, which is what I mainly used for tiling.
