I having my bathroom re-tiled and repainted. The re-tiling involves the
demolition of the current tile and from what I've been told will cause a
lot of mess. If I paint before I'm thinking that I'll have my newly
painted walls covered with dust. If I paint after I risk spills on my
new tile? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm a remodel contractor and I always paint first. Any grout or thinset can
be wiped off with water and sponge same goes for dust. I don't like
spending the time masking and covering. Touch up is easy and fast. The time
it takes masking you'd be done painting.

The OP is having the tile demoed, which means that the substrate
(backerboard or drywall) will be coming out, too. How do you paint up
to an edge that's being removed?

I'd agree with the painting first if it was something like hanging some
cabinets where the touch-ups would be minimal, but removing tile will
require more than just a touch-up.
