You don't normally come off the bath with a full tile...usually just above half a tile and you check you cuts at top off wall and floor...i So yes you can do as you say...leaving this course off tiles till last,then you would cut tiles to suit..

Most tile addy will take heat up to 150 deg... Just check with the mfr off the adhesive you have...make sure you have the correct distance from burner to wall...again follow mfr guidance re the burner installation... Tiles will be ok just make sure you seal them ect..

No probs.... :wink: Remember always have the ribs off adhesive going across the wall not up the wall.... Tiles won't slip down as much... You won't get to much adhesive coming thro between tiles.... Any water ingress won't run down behind the tiles as much,,..the ribs will slow it down...

When fitting the bath you will fix bath brackets to wall and use 2x2 and as strapping under the bath along the walls... Then seal around said bath with a very good quality silicone...fill bath all the way up...this way you can also check the overflow for any leak... Then leave bath overnight...
