Fitting bath to tiles - silly mistake

[-Sal-]

Hello all,

I’ve been tiling the new bathroom, and I’ve made a silly mistake.

I’m fitting a bath with an over head shower, and I’ve tiled the area. I stupidly tiled all the way down to the height of the bath, rather than leaving a row off, and fitting the bath, then tiling down to it.

Is it a big f**k up?

I’m thinking I’ll just put a load of silicone onto the wall below the bottom tile, and push/heighten the bath into it.

Does anybody have any good ideas?
Cheers

Slide the bath in and raise legs a bit at the time.
Make sure you don't force the bath on the tiles or they'll pop/crack.
Fill the bath before raising it.

give yourself a decent gap for the silicone, if the gap is too small then it gets overstetched between ful and empty
