It can depend onto what surface you are applying them. Plasterboard may need sealing, waterboard is already waterproofed, new plaster needs sealing, old plaster may need dustproofing (mist coating)...

waterproof PVA coating (watered down) is a good idea for all surfaces IMHO, as it stops the tile adhesive/mortar from drying too quickly.
I prefer ready mixed tile adhesive as it's too easy to get the mix wrong with powders.
Around the bath and above the sink, it's worth considering quadrant tile edging, stuck with it's own special adhesive which will allow slight movement as the bath dips when filled.
It comes in ceramic or PVC
