Default plastic bath trim?

Hi
I'm after some advice on trim for my white plastic bath. I set off to
replace the silicon seal , but in addition there's a gap of 4cm
between the tap end and the wall. A previous owner blocked this in
with wood then covered the wood with horizontal tiles, precariously
held to the wall and bath edge with silicone trim and grout. I've
removed all this as it's got extremely manky with black mould and
probably leaky too.

The question is what to replace the tiles with. If I just replace as
was I think it will still be rubbish. I was thinking of using a single
piece of white plastic over the wood, using something to give it an
angle to drain down, and sealing it to wall and bath with silicon.
Does this sound sensible, or are there better ideas out there?

Anyway I can only find what I want on the web in the USA, like this:

anyone tell me where I can get a piece of plastic like this in the UK?
Maybe I'm using the wrong words in Google.


Take a trip to your local window installation/manufacturing co.
Ask them for some trim of the shape you need and exchange beer tokens with
them.
