It's still the Plumber ..

The reason being that you can double seal the bath rim to the wall...Ummm I'm sure I've got a cr@p diagram somewhere...

EDIT...no..I deleted the diagram a few days ago..on te basis that I would never use it again...

Bath is normally fitted first,like wine-o says its sealed to the wall at this stage then sealed again after tiling.

Just to give a clue...

So you can have silicon in two places, giving twice as much protection against minor leaks.......

The right way to fit a bath is to put it in before tiling. They are bedded a little into the wall. It stops leaks because over time silicone seal shrinks. I know in some countries around Europe they tile first before putting a bath or shower tray in. Leaks wouldn't really bother them as some countries in Europe don't have wooden floor boards. They use concrete for everything.
