Heh heh...I've just did away with the tiling idea and siliconed the whole wall, thanks! :lol:

Super, appreciate the info, it's a great help. Cheers..

Hah...timings everything. I'll go with the 2 mm gap then. Should the final smoothed off seal then run from the bottom edge of the tile to the shower tray at a slight angle or straight down vertical? And should the sealant slightly overlap the bottom of the tile or start right at the edge...
