Hiya me again !
I measured 170 exact between walls where the bath will go and its not worked out.
Its tight and not square and i dont have any wiggle room to seal it in (is a metal bette bath so not sure if i need to tbh on that but still it is tight and im worried about wall movement etc.
how much room do you sensibly need around the bath ?
Option 1
I think im going to need to redo this stud section and move it back breaking the tanking but that isnt a exposed wet end tbh and i can always redo this bit. I can do that back by about 10mm
Option 2
another option is cut the 10mm tilebacker below the eventual tile line?
Option 3
Replace with 6mm (ive got some hardiebacker but is 4mm enough?
I need the section to run along to the eventual bath cover as well to add to the issue.
Help appreciated
