Why do you want the gap?
Good practice dictates you either;
- batten around under the concealed edges to give support to the bath sides
- or cut a chase in the wall and render the bath in
I would not leave a gap round the outside, unless it is a very big bath!
Fill the bath with water prior to applying sealant around the tub. Let the sealant cure before you empty it.
