I've seen various bodge solutions to this but am interested in how a professional would approach it. I am fitting a bath 90mm too short for the space its going into. I'm looking at boxing out and tiling the gap somehow but i want to do it properly so that water drains into the bath, even after some movement, and also so it looks good. Horizontal tiles flush with the bath lip don't seem a good idea to me: i think they need to overlap the lip and not be level so they drain. This must be a common issue??

You could build a 90mm stud wall floor to ceiling and put a neich ot two in it, just return it back to existing wall at front edge of bath..

Too late now,but could you not have got a bath 100mm longer than the the bath you have......and let the bath into the wall

Or as above.....build studwork at one end of the bath, floor to ceiling

May I ask why the tiles need to slope?
I tend to go under the top lip of the Bath and then Silicon against the side of the bath edge.
Usually the other end of the bath is where you would have a shower, if at all.
Your pic would work fine but I would clad the timber in a tile backer hoard.

was thinking its best to have water draining back into the bath hence not having tiles flush with top of bath lip but maybe i'm over thinking it
