Hi everyone. After a bit of advice / suggestions before I embark on tiling my bathroom floor. It’s on 1st floor with floorboard subfloor (see pics). It’s relatively flat but runs out of level by about 10mm at the door (presumably because there’s a thermalite wall held by joists that side. My initial plan was to Hardie board with flexible adhesive underneath then tile 200x200mm on top. I can’t really afford therefore to build up at the door by 10mm as the threshold would be really high. Any advice? Do I just go with a flat but out of level floor, or is there another way? Will I run into problems tiling?

That actually looks like a pretty good floor to me ! Give it another good brush, put a screw in anything that’s loose or squeaks, then a quick coat of 3:1 water:SBR. Put down your 6mm Hardie, on top of a bed of Adhesive that’s been trowelled on with a 6mm notch. ‘Screw as you go’ with 25mm Turbogolds.
The fall, and dents, that you have are nothing to worry about. Throw your current threshold bar in the bin, go to your local Carpet Fitters and ask for a “ sticky ramp” - they’ll know what you mean
Handy Hint - put two bits of scrap Hardie with a loose tile on top, hold a pencil across the top and use to ‘ Scribe’ a pencil line across the width of the inside of the door BEFOE you take it off; it won’t be far out for cutting
