how to deal with gap at end of bath

[Graham100]

It has a crease down the centre and folds into an 'L'. About 30mm overall so 15mm per leg.

I'll consider that too Graham - thank you, I didn't know that existed.

The one I used was a preformed L shape and had a soft edge where it sat on the bath. With accurate tile cuts it really made a perfect seal.

There are a few options available if I need them - http://www.homelux.co.uk/downloads/HOMELUX _BROCHURE.pdf

Thanks F. UltraSeal Before-Fit That was the one I liked. It looked more L shaped 🙂 because I pushed it down so that there was a lift of about 5 - 7 mm nd it forced the edge nice and tight onto the bath.

sealux do great bath seals and they definitely work providing you use their Silicon.
Good luck

Thought I'd show you how this problem turned out. I'm not going to use a seal as I think the Silicon will be fine but I'll keep a beady eye out for any leakage and put one on if needed. Thanks again for all the advice.

nice,one thing id get the bath ends framed solidified with batons 1.to ensure it doesnt go weak at htose points and 2.to fix panel too

Do you mean vertical batons at each end of the bath where the panel will meet the wall?

There are clips at 6 points along the front rim of the bath and 6 "stops" screwed to the floor to support the bath panel. I'd be loathe to drill the panel as well.
