I'm looking to tile the floor in the bathroom, only problem is that I also want in install a shower tray. The shower tray has to be a quadrant type on an upstand , due to limmited size of the room and drainage problems. My question is do I just tile the whole floor, and then install the shower tray or Part tile under the upstand, or Install the shower tray and tile upto it. (Difficult due to the Quadrant shape!)

I'd fit the tray the tray first; then tile the floor, taking the tiles just under the upstand; then fit a removable access panel to cover the gap below the upstand.
It's pointless tiling the whole floor under the shower, and if you tile after fitting the panel to the front it won't be removable, which is a Very Useful Feature.

yup, and seal the upstand to the tiling afterwards so splashes onto the floor don't run under the tray
