Bath shorter than room width

Re-lining the wall would be my option is it was available to do it..

I agree, sheet over that wall

or fame over to make a recessed shelve etc

Yuk ! I think that would always look like a quick fix bodge.

Not if done properly, its white and matches in with the bath, you are however entitled to your opinion

sorry mate just read your post

if you have already tanked etc and dont want to sheet over etc you could frame over the some of the area(doesnt need to be to ceiling height, you could do 300mm up the wall above bath level to form a cill for sher gel etc) and sheet over with aquapanel(this is water resistant)

that YouTube video was interesting viewing Polishtradesman but i would guess you meant "insulation" not "isolation" 😳

unfortunately framing above it is not an option either as it would look dam ugly to see that from the side. when you open the bathroom door you will be looking straight at the bath from the side, not the ends. unless there are any massive objections i will push for the neatest looking and fit the bath into the tiled area leaving 1-2mm to Silicon.

1-2mm gap to Silicon sounds fine to me mate, as long as its water tight!

Access panels are an option.... not a law..

I think you could probably cut one out mate depending on size etc. Not everyone incoporates access panels though!

My english is not good enought to write exacly what i mean. I dont know diffrence between insulation and isolation, i wrote about foam (same like one to fix windows, door etc) which make sound isolation so if you bang the bath you will not hear loud sound. Method with this material makes bath solid and it looks very nice after tiling this cover.

Of course you need to do acces panel. You need to cut hole in right place and fix metal door and use silicon to fix tile to door.
