Fill the joint with silicone???
I would always prefer skirting tiles, as you can also nicely wipe with water without the water running under the skirting boards...

What is the difference between skirting tiles and self-cut skirting?

Self-cut tiles can, if the tiles are not fully dyed throughout, or due to cutting, show slight to clearly visible variations in color and/or texture on the upper - then visible - edge.

Ok, of course you should only take the outer strips of a whole tile. With our 15 cm wide tiles, just 2 baseboard tiles could be made from one tile quite easily. But even if you only take the outer strips from a 30 x 60 cm tile, it's probably significantly cheaper than ready-made baseboard tiles.

You are probably right about that. However, if you factor in the labor time for cutting and the potential breakage during cutting, depending on the tile price and labor costs, it could quickly look different again...

Why breakage???
I assume a wet cutter is available...
