Good morning, what is the correct procedure? The bathtub is to be installed on the bathtub support base against two sides of the bathroom interior walls. Does the tiler need to install tiles under the bathtub, specifically under the area where the support base will be placed? Should the wall tiles be installed up to the top edge of the bathtub support base or down to the floor behind the bathtub? The joint pattern with adjacent surfaces is of secondary importance since the remaining walls will not be tiled.
Thank you for your answers.

But planning the bathtub based on the tile layout seems rather obsessively precise.The bathtub was not planned according to the tile layout. It’s just that if there are only 62 cm (24 inches) of space above the bathtub to the end of the partition wall, then two tiles with a height of 30 cm (12 inches) simply won’t fit there. So instead of starting to plan a small tile strip, the bathtub was simply placed on the floor tiles to raise it, allowing exactly two tiles to fit above the tub.
This wasn’t a big deal, and the tiler actually explained it to us more than we had originally discussed. Personally, I also find it much easier to tile underneath the bathtub rather than trying to somehow build up the bathtub support frame.
In hindsight, I still think it’s a good idea to plan the tiles and tile measurements together with the bathroom layout. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible for us, and in some spots, we had to figure out together with the tiler how to best lay the tiles.

I didn’t want to comment on your decision and actions, but rather explain why I didn’t do it.
I agree with you for two centimeters (0.8 inches), but in my case it’s 5 centimeters (2 inches), so the tile under the bathtub wouldn’t have made a difference. Okay, then I misunderstood that. It feels like the tiler says “hmm, that’s a tricky measurement” at every point.
