Default Bath Sealant

Is there a bath sealant system that exists that actually lasts more than
about a year? I have tried stick on strips (very poor), corner tile type
strips with sealant (better) and good old thick branded sanitary sealant
(from tubes) to seal the small (c. 2mm) gap between my plastic bath and
the wall tiles. But inevitably after about a year a small leak will
develop. Has anyone a recommendation of something that lasts a lot longer?

By the way we do use a shower in the bath which will find any potential
leak! I have checked and there is hardly any movement in the bath due to
floor flexing. Ideas gratefully received.


If its not too late you can get sealing strips that fit behind the tiles
that should last a lot longer.
