Hi
Iam about to tile my bathroom wall, there is no skirting board. Should I taket the wall tiles down to floor or do I need to fit skirting boards first?

I wall tiles are taken down to floor do I grout the wall-floor junction?

Thanks

I prefer to see it with no skirting, unless you use a marble/stone/tile as the skirting.

I would certainly tile it to the floor and see what you think, you can always stand a length of skirt on the wall to which you like best.

Tile to floor and silicone with a suitable colour.

I dont think its a stupid question but does show a lack of understanding of how paint works and reasons for certain applications, now dont jump down my throat Jaegar i'm not being funny its just a classic case in point of a well educated professionally trained painter against a general tradesman.

I'm with Jaegs, this is how I've done mine, thin line of grout then silicon.
