Because the bath is level, the water on the rim can flow in all directions,

My 'next time' fix would be to slope the bath towards the tiled wall a
little so any water on the rim ran inwards, then drained into the bath.

Being reluctant to hack off the tiles and re-slope the bath now, I am
looking for a neat alternative to stop water on the rim of the bath running
off the edge onto the floor.

Cloths placed at strategic locations, as long as regularly squeezed, can do
this but they are unsightly and can be forgotten by those not initiated into
arcane showering rituals.

I was looking for something which could be used to produce a slight ridge
(couple of mm would do) along the exposed edge of the bath so that any water
would run into the bath instead of down the bath panel.

I have seen in one of the catalogues, a white plastic, self-adhesive corner
piece. It attaches to the top edge of the tub, and the side of the
wall/enclosure, and is specifically designed to solve the problem you
describe.

Because of similar problems with water onto the floor and rot
etc., twice over the last 33 years, we have recently refitted our
bath-shower using one of those fiberglass/acrylic enclosures. It
is well shaped to avoid such problems and we are pleased with it.
We had to settle for a three piece one because of access into the
bathroom. We had to remove the door box and door frame to get the
three pieces into the bathroom individually and fit them
together.
My daughter has substantial shower curtain liner of sort of
rubbery material in her almost identical tub enclosure. Even
without the usual magnets used in liners for steel tubs, it
sticks when wet and sometimes it seems almost electrostatically,
very well to the inside wall of the tub; prevents outspray and
virtually eliminates any water on the edge of the tub at all. The
decorative sheet of the curtains hangs outside the tub.
One can buy shower glass or plastic shower/tub doors (equiv.
about 85-100 UK) One type runs in channels which are siliconed to
edge of the bathtub and tend to fill up and get 'grotty'. Another
type free hangs from above with maybe a vinyl rubber edging just
brushing the tub. We don't like either type and having found out
how easy it is to reach in and wipe down the smooth contours of
the new enclosure we like them even less.
Recommend serious consideration of substantila shower curtain;
before this we used to anchor, not but effectively, our el cheapo
plastic shower curtain liner in place with plastic bottles of
hair shampoo. Terry.
