That doesn't look that bad. There is also usually some batten along the wall to take the weight of the bath, that usually gets sealed too.

love the cornice, there's the obvious of where the stain appears can be a hell of a way off from where the leak is (but I'm somehow doubting that as a theory) - what does strike is there's a 2" or so gap around the bath panelling! What does that extra splishy sploshing water have to get through to arrive at the ceiling - [squinting] isn't the bath sat on a entity tiled floor

Have a look at the grout between the tiles.
Cementitious grouts always shrink, might be a hairline gap between the grout and a tile.

Issue is this has appeared on the kitchen ceiling:
Directly above that is the far side of the bath
Bathroom was done about 5 years ago (as was the kitchen ceiling painting).
Thinking/hoping it is the sealant as it doesn't look great at spots (although can't see any obvious lifting):
Also, there is no easy access to under the bath so sealant is first easy thing to do. Not really sure the best way to see if that has/hasn't worked though (other than waiting for the patch to get bigger).
No deep baths so can rule out the overflow at least.
