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.

I know it is cold comfort now but what you should have done was put
the spacers on the bath then a loose tile then ( using another spacer
above the loose tile ) securely fitted a wooden batten to a level
line all round ,no more than 1 tile plus 1 spacer at any point .You
should then have tiled from the batten upwards using spacers and when
all the tiles were laid and the cement dried gone back ,siliconed
between wall and bath then fitted the bottom row of tiles then
siliconed the gap with the bath full of water

Thanks, Stu. Looks like I have some thinking to do...
