Hello this is my first post!
I’m planning to refit my bathroom. The plan is to get rid of the bath and replace with 2 sinks! The sinks are on a metal washstand with the waste going into the wall via a chrome bottle trap. Do I tile the wall prior to fitting the sinks or after? My only worry about tile before or after is getting a neat finish around the area the waste goes into the wall. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Def tile first.
You can get a pack of diamond hole cutters from 5-50mm on Amazon for about a tenner.
That'll do for all your fixtures and fittings as a rule.
Pre drill a piece of 6mm board to hole saw Size required, and then place board on tile and use it as a guide so that the drill doesn’t wander. Use damp sponge to keep hole saw cool.

Great I’ll do that, presumably the chrome pipe from the bottle trap will detach to allow me to fit before tile.
