Do We Have A Tiler On Here???

[jims-terrano]

Could be me but I'm sure somebody once said they were a tiler by trade on here?

Could do with some advice as I'm fitting a shower soon. Normally I would fit the tray against the wall and fill the gap with silicone so it aint gonna leak. Then tile around the tray with another bead of silicone where the tiles meet the tray.
However the shower that I've got says you can either fit the shower and enclosure direct to bare plaster wall and tile upto the tray and enclosure or tile the walls down to the floor and then fix tray and enclosure to the tiles. I prefer my way but is it wrong? could be the fancy enclosure wont fit if the tray is recessed into the tiles and enclosure fitted to the tiles if you see what I mean.

PS I'm now gonna hang my head in shame as this isn't to do with 4x4's
