Removing skirting for wall tiles, floor already tiled.

9mm will do, 50mm drywall screws @150 centres to timber framing.

Thank you.

Basically I have a tiled floor in a toilet with skirting in place, as we were not sure if we were going to tile the walls or just wallpaper.
Now decided to tile the walls so I will remove the skirting, I just wanted to know how to get the tile to the correct thickness so it sits where the skirting ended.
Is it a case of thicker base of adhesive or am I best to board the walls to bring it out slightly before tiling?
The walls are painted plasterboard.
The tiles are roughly 9mm thick and the skirting roughly 20mm.

I was also wondering how to trim the top with the boxed edging do I just get a 20mm trim and then it's pressed back against the wall so it covers the tile and also the excess area behind it?
Thanks.

I have used these trims from genesis they work

Tiled skirting?

When it comes to trimming the top with a boxed edging, using a 20mm trim should do the trick.
