Seal gap around shower tray

    Hi guys,
    I have a bit of an issue with my shower tray.
    There is a gap on 3 sides between the tray and the tiles (in horizontal direction)i.e the tray is too narrow.
    The gap varies between 1mm and 12mm at the widest point.
    On average the gap is around 6mm.
    Previously this was sealed with a few lengths of bath trim and silicone but it leaked and I'd now like to do a good job.

    I've removed all of the old silicone and seals and attached some pictures of the shower tray.

    I've been looking at some special shower seal products like Teleseal 10 ,Sealux and even quadrant tiles.
    Would any of these be a viable solution or are there better methods ?
    Many thanks

    I would clean everything very thoroughly and then use Bostick Wetgrab or Tec 7.

    Is the gap not too wide to use a sealant on its one ?

    Pack the wider gap with mortar or something else that's stable.
