    How to cover the gap at one side of bath?

    HI, we are redoing our bathroom and looking for a second opinion. We are having an issue with the bathtub fitting snugly to the wall, as our wall seems to not be a 90 degree angle. There is 2cm gap at one side as shown on the picture with red line. What are the options to cover the gap?
