I'm looking for some advice for re-tiling a corner shower enclosure. I'm replacing the shower enclosure, and when I started taking the old one down it became apparent that the tiles were very badly fitted and were falling off in places. I've stripped them all off and now need to re-tile. The shower tray is in place, and I'm intending to tile slightly beyond the end of the tray on each side, so that the enclosure will be fitted onto the tiles.
My question is, is it best to use a row of complete tiles along above the tray, then cut a small piece to fill the gap between that row and the skirting board the tiles extend beyond the edge of the tray (as seems to have been done in this pic)? Or, is it best to have a complete tile height above the skirting board, and cut the first row of tiles above the tray (like here)? Or, am I thinking about it too much, and it doesn't really matter either way!?
