My question relates to having the wall along the full length of a bath tiled from the ceiling down to the bath in a very small bathroom.

I was wondering would you suggest that the bath be installed first and then the tiles affixed from ceiling down to the bath, or from bath up to ceiling?

Or alternatively, would the tiling be affixed first down to close to where the top of the bath will be, then the bath installed, then the tiles finished off to meet the bath?

If the bath is installed first, it would make things difficult with regards to getting to the top of the wall to begin tiling from the top of the wall down.
 
Never seen anyone tile top to bottom as each tile sits on the one below.?
You can install the bath and tile up the wall assuming bath edge is designed to be level or tile up from one tile above the bath and cut the bottom row in.
Ideally install bath and then sealant then tile and seal again.
 
As above. Depends on the tile as to where you place cuts. If using something like a 10x20 then maybe just drop the cut at the top. Nothing uglier than a cut metro tile!
