Bath Leak Repair
Bath leak repair finds the source of water escaping from your bath and puts it right, quickly and cleanly. Whether the leak is coming from the waste, overflow, pipework, or failed seals, the aim is a watertight finish and reduced risk of damage to floors, ceilings, and surrounding joinery.
More information
What bath leak repair covers
Bath leaks can be deceptive, with water tracking under the bath or along pipework before it shows. This service focuses on accurate diagnosis and a durable repair.
Typical work includes:
- Tracing the leak source, not just treating the visible symptom
- Isolating the water supply where needed
- Repairing or replacing the bath waste and trap
- Fixing overflow assemblies and pipe connections
- Renewing worn seals and resealing edges where appropriate
- Checking for movement or poor alignment that causes repeat leaks
- Testing the bath through fill, drain, and overflow checks before sign-off
When to book a bath leak repair
Book a repair if you notice water marks on a ceiling below the bathroom, damp around the bath panel, persistent puddling after use, or a musty smell that keeps returning. It is also worth investigating if sealant keeps failing, or if the bath has been recently disturbed during flooring or decorating.
What happens during the visit
The work starts with a few questions about when the leak occurs, then a close inspection around the bath, waste, overflow, and accessible pipework. Where access is restricted, you will be advised on the safest options, such as using an access panel, removing a panel, or limited removal to reach hidden fittings. Once repaired, the bath is tested under real use conditions to confirm the leak has stopped.
After the repair
You will be told what was found, what was replaced or resealed, and what to watch for over the next few uses. If the cause is bath movement, damaged pipework, or poor access that prevents a lasting fix, you will be given clear next steps so you can avoid repeat call-outs and further water damage.
