Have you got 3-4mm gap and less than perhaps 10mm? If so, why not just use
silicone (a decent one not cheap rubbish)? That's what I've done - I made
sure to leave about 5mm gap +/- so I can get a decent plug of silicone in
that won't (hopefully) fall off the first time the bath flexes.

The answer to that is to supprt the bath properly. One, with a batten around the
wall and two, by reinforcing the usually inadequate baseboard.


Oh, I go a lot further than that with a cheap bath. Slabs of MDF stuck
on with car body filler and a full 2x2 frame. And a bit more wood
backing up the base if there is any sign of flex.

expanding foam is also useful.
