In one *what*?
At a guess you mean small bullnosed skirting, 19x75mm, rather than architrave (although you can get bullnosed architrave). You could always remove it and put in larger skirting if it looks odd.
Remember, it makes cutting the tiles easier. I just cut the top row approximately in half, knowing the coving would cover it!

Our 1938 semi - the usual type - had no skirtings in the bathroom from new.

I'd have thought that if there were condensation it could run down the tiles and rest on the skirting.
In any case it wouldn't be as easy to clean as tiles right to the floor.
Mary
? Why should they?
Ours haven't, in 69 years.
Mary
Why? Look, surely it's a personal matter. There's no right or wrong, good or bad, everyone's preferences are different.

We have avoided that as the *quality* of construction tends to mean attempted removal is accompanied by major plaster migration as well, resulting in complete redecoration.
I am going to let her make up my mind. :))
I usually go to the floor, or better sill, use a few sliced up floor tiles as a skirting.
I think he means architrave.
Perhaps they made better tiles in those days. Modern large tiles designed for walls break all too easily.
We've had our bathroom tiled floor to ceiling. Twice.
The first time we left the skirting board because we didn't tile the floor. It looked fine IMHO and is the right thing to do with floorboards.
The second time, we tiled the floor and removed the skirting so that the floor and walls would be sealed. In this case skirting would have no purpose.
Take a look around some colour/decorating/interior design sites and see what other people have done - it might help your decision.
Very large tiles in a small room is a mistake. Take them back?

The message from EricP contains these words:
Can I interest sir in a tiled garage?
The message from "Mary Fisher" contains these words:
Mary, when you've got the hang of jokes, do drop me a line so I can rejoice.
It's not a bad idea and would finish a rather stark wall top off nicely. :))
Too late now they were a sale item from last summer.
And I think the skirting has been disposed of and Mr McArdles coving added. At least for now. The bath has also been chucked out for yet another new one :((
I think the tiles have won. The tile showroom was no skirting and it looked decent with the same size tiles and about same size room.
They'll probably look quite nice in the garage :-)

I'll try to keep mine for as long as possible then. They're all intact. I've no idea of their age, but they're probably less than 25 years old. They are large and cover the wall from floor to ceiling.
Your rejoicing wouldn't be amusing.
