Hi

I'm just about to tile my bathroom for first time, there was only one row of thick white tiles above bath at a steep angle to the bath.
After removing the tiles I found out why such a pronounced angle, the bath is flush to the wall at tap and opposite ends and can't be moved due to waste pipe.

However the problem I have is at the non tap end bath is touching the side wall and at the tap end the bath is 3/4" from the side wall.

I don't want to fit the new tiles at such an extreme angle as it will look really bad, I'm hoping to skim the wall to bring it out level with other end but not sure what to use.

Need to tile within a few days of levelling the wall, any suggestions

You wont be able to skim it to catch 3/4" back, you will need a basecoat to fill out to level prior to skimming.

No a skim over the basecoat will best method, you may get away with using a one coat plaster but two application to get 3/4" is likely to be required.
 
What's the wall construction...plasterboard on stud or dot and dabbed p/ board.....render...bonding coat/ skim finish....??

How big an area is it you are talking about..
