Thanks Cris for your thoughts. The tiler just said that's the way plumbers on site have always told him to do it, basically to save them time, as I understood it.
I'm sorry to be asking more questions, but I'm quite worried about my current tiler's work.
After further inspecting his progress I note that the wall tiles are installed hard down onto the shower tray most of the way around the tray.

We just had a 1.5 sq. m area of floor tiled professionally in our ensuite.
The base floor is 18 mm chipboard and is screwed down hard to the joists, but dips down by a max. of around 4 to 5 mm in places.
When laying the tiles, the tiler followed the floor precisely, and hence the finished...
