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.

I've just installed my bath and have tiled down onto it. I've also used a
sealing strip from B&Q that goes behind the bottom tiles (in the adhesive)
and then projects out from the tiles, forming a seal onto the bath. It looks
very professional and should last longer than a bead of silicone.
