Any ideas ?

Me thinks only thing to do is have a small return tiled shelf 9Trimmed) to take out gap which would need to run down the side to accommodate the bath panel.... common mistake made by plumbers (Tiler will get over it)!!

read other posts on the forum.
Apparently you tile it as a professional then you guarantee it fully.

So the walls tiles can't be matched no more of the batch in the company.. Bath store are now saying to rip all of the White tiles down and re do in the new batch.. I'm 3/4 of the way through the job.. Lol got to love Mondays

This is a classic text book reason I'm a multi skilled bathroom fitter, don't get others in to mess things up, do it once , do it right and do it yourself.

If someone wants me to tile a bathroom that I'm not removing and fitting myself, I give them a price assuming it's all good but I always let them know if it's crap then I won't be touching it - much less stress that way.

Sorry poor post by me.
It is the limited guarantee you are suggesting giving that I am cautioning about.
If you tile something in a way that is not to accepted standards then something goes wrong; it will be the tilers (the professional who should know better) responsibility even if they were doing it in away as instructed by the (non qualified) customer. That is my understanding from reading other posts on this forum.

So my advise would be (assuming no extra boarding or other corrections are going to be made, after pointing out the problem) is to tile the walls correctly with the correct adhesive bed etc so that you can guarantee the tiling part. The tiles to the bath can then presumably be sealed as normal along the long side and tap end, leaving only the gap at the other end to sort out. If this is within the limits of a flexible sealant to seal (with backing support) this is then the correct solution (even if a wide silicone joint is not good aesthetically) as this you can guarantee.
Personally I would silicone a white (Assuming that's the bath colour) tile edge trim (pointing upwards) or a uPVC quadrant over the gap as it is at the "dry" end of the bath.
