thin decorative bead is all that is needed.
Don't expect a thin, decorative bead to have long-term waterprooffness.
The best sealants a DIY-er can get only allow for 25% movement across the joint in total.
A bathful of water plus the bather can easily cause a couple of millimeters of flex, especially when stepping in/out of the bath and the bathers weight is concentrated in the middle of the bath.

To @hovis too.
Part of me is unhappy to buy one tube to do one bath. The bath is recessed under the tiles so thin decorative bead is all that is needed.
Got a roca contessa (steel) 700x 1700 bath with non slip coating and feet for £114 delivered. Thought that was great value.
