1. Retile starting from bath up (use wood shims or match sticks to space

Too late for that. I would have to take down and redo nearly three
walls.
When I was laying the tiles, I initially tried using tile spacers to
space the tiles off the bath. But they couldn't support the weight of
the tiles. So I ended up shoving part tiles underneath to give a solid
flat base. Unfortunately, when I removed the part tiles, the gap was
bigger than I anticipated.

2. Put shims under bath legs to raise a bit so reduce gap.

The bath is screwed to the wall, using 2 brackets. And the brackets
have been tiled over. Shifting the bath up would probably cause this
to move. What do you think?

Any gap bigger than 1/4 will work its way open pretty quickly as well as
looking crap.

Looks like a sealing strip is needed. But try to fill the void first
with silicone, or tile adhesive, or something(!)

Thanks

Sealing strips stuck on top of the tiles rarely work for long.
I would cut the L brackets off (if you can get at them through the
1/2" gap), remove the bath and find another way to fix it (a batten
all round the edge for starters). I have in the past used a variety of
devious methods of fixing the long edge of the bath (that you can't
get to), usually involving a mirror and long socket extension !. Also,
I believe there are some ingenious brackets you can get for this.
Fit the bath higher up, it will be worth it in the long run.
