You wouldn't necessarily have to chip anything away, just don't tile the area which will house the mat.

The only downside is you will always have to have a mat there.
Hi again. In an ideal world I'd prefer tiles to the door with a mat on top, but I can't change the door, so I'm limited. Would you use a z bar between the tiles and mat, or is there a better solution for a mat well?

Thank you so much for taking the time to let me pick your brains, it is very much appreciated. :)

I suppose it depends on the mat, if you go for one of those microfibre type thin ones then you might get away with not having a mat well, if you wanted a coir one thats like 10-15mm thick then you would.

I think the best bet would be to let the tiler know your predicament, then when hes getting the towards the door area youll see how much depth you've got left at that stage you can then tell him to either leave the mat area un-tiled or you may well have enough room

Well my fears have come to fruition. I've started a new thread about concerns for more views/advice.
