I would install the bath first, seal it with silicone between bath and wall, then tile and trim.
But if it has already been tiled, still use silicone as sealant, you want to buy the water resistant, anti-mold, bathroom silicone.
Read the guidelines on the product for curing times, but it should be okay after about 24 hours.
 
Before sealing the bath fill it up halve way with water, then seal. Allow 12 hrs before emptying water and using.

You should also seal with silicone AFTER tiling and grouting.

Stand your bath tiles on spacers so you can silicone under them.
 
You should not use bathroom for at least 24 hours. It also depends upon climatic conditions.
