Buy curb tape or plastic kerb for bath. They vary in width, it all depends on the gap between the tub and the wall. Keep in mind that plastic or tape border is a temporary measure. It will last no more than a year, and then will require replacement.

Wipe clean with a dry cloth the tile and the edge of the bath where you intend to install the ribbon curb. The entire surface should be absolutely dry.

Insert the gun, aquarium sealant and insulate the gap. Allow the silicone to dry.

Adjust the tube of silicone on the tube of liquid nails. Typically tape border is sold with adhesive layer, which is necessary to warm up the building hair dryer, but the layer is extremely durable. In addition, the tape is stretched when warming up and after cooling, is compressed. So that put a curb on the sealant or liquid nails.

Glue the edge of the tub with masking tape that accidentally got out the glue does not hurt the enamel.

Measure the desired length of the border strips or the plastic edging. Apply the thin layer of liquid nails and press down firmly on one edge to the wall, and the second to the tub.

Mix waterproof tile adhesive. Apply it on the ceramic border and glue across the junction of the bath to the wall. Ceramic parts are placed in the corners of the wall.

Use the grout for the tiles to cover up the seams between the ceramic border. The grout can be diluted with water, and you can just buy ready-made in a tube. Importantly, the mass was water-resistant.
