Can you tile over a wooden door frame?
Tiling my bathroom and want to tile right up to the door for a minimalist look.
Is it possible to do or will I have to get a new door frame (Architrave)?
Walls are backer board.

Perhaps it would be ok if you nailed your edge/corner trim to the frame. I think you might struggle on the LHS though.

So you intend no architrave .?

I did something similar. Stop the tiles at the frame / door lining then silicone on a 40mm - or whatever width needed UPVC D profile flat trim. My tiles were white so getting the trim was easy.
