Tiling around bath

[Yanni]

I'm fitting a new metal roca bath.

I'm wondering do you usually tile the wall first and then push the bath on topof the tiles, or do you place the bath first and then tile on the top edge of the bath with a 3mm gap for the silicone ?

My bath has a 5mm gap between the wall so I can
(a) tile to make the wall straight and push the bath onto it,
(b)I can also chisel the wall and eliminate the gap,
or
(c)buy one of these seal fittings for tiling from homelux

help please...

bath first then tile is the better option.

no need for the strip they look horrible! silicone is the better option for on the bath / tile gap.

do the better job move things if its possible rather than make do
