Filling a gap in a tiled floor?

We have a tiled bathroom floor. The tiling butts up against the skirting board.
We are going to re-tile the bathroom walls, and plan to leave the floor tiles 'as is' but this throws up a problem. If we remove the skirting to wall tile down as far as the floor, there will be the width of a skirting-board size gap between the existing floor tiles and the new wall tiles.
This must be a fairly common problem with bathroom refurb sand I wondered what the solution could be. Is there a ceramic in-fill bead for instance? Or some other product that could be used to fill the gap?

The gap wipont be skirting board width. Your tiles are probably 8mm and you will have 3 mm of adhesive, so you probably have 7 mm of gap.
I would grout it with the same colour as the floor.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0 -
You could do a cement type edging the same as you grout the tiles with and maybe colour it to suit either wall or floor ones.0
