I am about to re tile the laundry as part of our renovations, i am tossing up between attempting this myself or getting in a professional, so i have some questions

Do i need to use tiles as a skirting board? MDF is any good do to the moisture?

Whats the best method to cut the tiles? given that i would probably need to buy this

Also is it necessary to have a drain pipe in the floor? we are thinking of putting a pantry where the current one is, can i just tile over it? or is it not recommended

Any help is appreciated
