Cut bath or tiles - Tile Advice

[brfc1999]

Hello
I have a 1700 wide bath tub and my bathroom is also 1700 and bit wide, with the tiles, in on both sides, the bath cannot be slotted as is, at least 1 side the tiles need to be cut or from side the bath tub needs to be cut.
Builder claims its better to cut the bath, the person I bought the bath off, claims is better the builder cuts the tiles.... which is the better option?

I've seen plenty of small recesses cut into walls to accomodate a bath which is slightly to wide or slightly too long for the room. It's not a major issue to cut out a bit of wall and work the tiling around that.
