    Bath not flush, chase long or short edge

    Hey all, My walls slightly out for the bath. If I push the short end flush with the wall the bottom end comes out 15mm away from the wall. I'm gonna chase the wall to fix this. But am just wondering if it's best to chase the short or long end and why? Thanks for your time
