Large Gap Around Bath

[frales]

Hi

I have had a problem with a leaking seal around a bath. The walls are obviously not true as I have a large gap in one corner and hardly a gap in other places. Is there something I can use before sealing to reduce the gap or give a footing to the sealant?

expanding foam?

just make sure you dont pump so much down there it starts to push the bath away from the wall.

Show a picture can you not use a trim?

How wide is the gap at it's largest point? You can use an oversized seal, or trim/moulding as steve suggests. Are there still tiles to fit?

if the tiles are not on yet you could straighten the wall

fit a timber rail to the wall that is filleted to accommodate, and then trims and silicone.

Or hack the plaster off the wall on the tight side to get a better fit

Bath needs refitting, anything else is a bodge and won't last long.

Yup! Cut into the wall/tiles... Or You will be forever filling that gap...
