Is there anyway of getting a good fixing, where the upright of the shower enclosure meets the continuous edge of large vertical porcelain tiles? I'm concerned about the possible cracking of tiles with holes drilled so near to the edge, and also the possibility of leakage. Laying the tiles horizontally is going to be so bitty. I'm quite prepared to make a payment for anyone who can make a good workable suggestion.

If you mean where the new tiles join the tiles existing at the shower screen fixing area at the edge of the shower tray, there should be no issue with tiles breaking if they are fitted correctly, i.e. with a 100% adhesive bed right to the edge, problems only occur like that if there are voids under the edge of the tile or someone uses a hammer drill to drill the tiles, both of which I have encountered too often. Hope that helps.
