If the skirtings are to be varnished or stained or painted it is better done first to protect it from the grout and water staining it....

 

[bigandy]

agree with both best to paint/varnish first then use masking tape or wash off before it sets.or take them off tile and re apply

I always Silicon around skirting, never grout right up to it.

As long as there not hard wood which water can stain
