We have a mira shower currently attached to a mosaic tiled wall. We are having the bathroom re tiled and I just wondered the best way of tiling around the shower unit. Is it best to remove all tiles behind the shower unit and re tile behind it or is it best to remove all tiles up to the shower unit and re tile around it. any help would be appreciated

Remove the shower unit & all the tiles, tile behind & refit the shower unit.
What type of surface are you tiling onto? What type of tiles are you proposing to use? Have you read the Tiling Sticky? Have you had a read through the Tiling Forum archive posts?
Sorry to hit you with all that but it may prevent you making some potentially expensive mistakes.
