Nearly ready to start tiling and I have one more question.
I notice in most bath-showrooms that the displays are always tiled right down to the floor. It looks nice, but does anyone have any thoughts on whether this is a practical/durable thing to do.
I'm worried that without a skirting board, the bottom row of tiles is going to come in for some welly.

normally, which looks quite nice people use half a floor tile on the wall for border effect

Or even a border tile designed for the task. ..

You can. I prefer wooden skirting, though. More for appearance than impact damage worries. Obviously, if you do tile to the floor, you may need to make good the plaster in the skirting area, which is often missing or damaged.

Hello Des
People don't tend to wear boots in bathrooms so the damage issue is less. :)
I've tiled to the floor in mine. It looks good but the only caveat I've found is that you do need to leave 3-4mm at the bottom for the floorboards to slide out cleanly. That gap's easily hidden by carpet anyway.
If on concrete, no problem.
