Last bath that was fitted happily moved about, as it wasn't fixed in place properly, and caused the silicon to keep failing. So water was getting under the bath and causing problems. Once attached to the wall and a frame for the bath panel, bath stopped moving about.
The filling the bath with water is a really good tip.
Make sure that the bath doesn't move then. A lot of people don't even batten the wall to rest the bath on something solid. Also make sure you 3/4 fill the bath when you apply the mastic/silicon and leave it full of water until it dries.
