Batten bath onto kerdi? - Tile Advice

[James --]

Hi, I am battening out the far end of a corridor shaped bathroom to hide pipes/waterfall filler. The corner bath will take the whole width of the room.
Plan a was to hardi the wall, then batten onto the hardi to support the edge of the bath
Plan b after reading the forum was to also tank it.

Further reading and desire to have a niche since I’m battening out anyway, changed to plan c and use kerdi board rather than cement board.

However now I am stuck, the bath doesn’t have enough depth on the side to not look bad with kerdi plus tiles going over it. That seems to rule out having the kerdi start just above the bath
However if I kerdi the whole wall I assume I can’t sandwich kerdi between two battens?
(Noggen on the wall, kerdi then batten to Support bath side)

What’s the correct way to secure a bath to a stud wall with kerdi on all of it ? YouTube seems only to have vids of baths with lips to marry up to the boards

Thanks for any assistance!

Drop the board onto your slightly thicker batten that is screwed to the studs.

Thanks, so I will have a deeper bath securing batten, then I won’t push the bath tight against the studs, but have it pulled forward a few mm?

Then seal with their kerdi silicon and the band fabric to the edge of the bath ?

Kind regards
