Hi guys I'm doing a bathroom suite which it as already been tiled. As I butted the bath up to the corner the walls are out of square by about 1 inch.
What is the best way out of this to get it looking better.
1) Do I remove some tiles and take out some of the wall
2) Use a plastic strip to cover the gap
3) Any other suggestions
 
As above, I've always been told you should always tile down on to the top of the bath instead of butting the bath up to the tiles.
 
I know that is what I always do. But apparently they got left down by a plumber so continued with the tiling
 
It looks like the next tile starts about 15mm above the bath, I would take the tiles off to the joint and just jack the bath up to that level.
 
I wouldn't bother with a cover strip they look awful
I would chase the wall, either the tap end or the long side (long side would be better, keeps taps parallel to wall)
Cut tiles with a 4" diamond blade (with a good hoover behind it)
Would take 20/30 mins and a bit of dust
As long as you're good enough with a grinder, the silicon would hide the cut
 
Down the side take off to joint and jack up as above. Across the end, 25mm batten vertical down corner, cement based tile backer board screwed to batten and fixed square to bath with dot and dab adhesive down to level of bath and re-tile across end.
