Gap Between Tile & Bath

Good Evening.

Last week i secured my bath in place ready for the tiler to come and tile the bathroom. The bath was secured using the supplied fixing brackets & a healthy amount of sealant around the corner it sits in.

The bath was very level (slightly out but between the lines) The tiles have now been put on but something must have been off. The tiling looks great however in the meeting corner of the bath is a nice few mm gap where as the end of the long side of the bath the gap becomes much larger.

I could plug it with sealant but i think it will be too noticeable when it’s a nice even strip then getting bigger and deeper towards one end. Wouldn’t be as bad if the tiles and grout were white but they are both grey.

I wouldn’t mind the bath being slightly out of level by lifting one end but i can’t think of any way of lifting the bath up now it’s secured using the sealant

Does anyone have any advice on making it possibly not looking as bad as it does when the room is complete?

Thanks

Baths move they should not be "secured".

A tiling stip should be used when tiling to it (they are flexable).

Also the bath should be full when tiling (or is it the other way round? I forget!).

Any competent tiler should know what to do.
