Hi

Whats the recommendation/convention? Install bath then tile down to it,
grout and seal? Or tile the wall to below the level of the bath, install
the bath and seal? I think the former, but someone I know is swearing
the latter is better.

Every time I've been advised to install bath, then tile. Better to have a
bit of an overhanging lip to aid water running down the walls to go into the
bath rather than have to divert it into the bath. In some cases, with a
tight fit there won't be room for any tiles at the side.
