Hello, my neighbour’s bath has been leaking intermittently (once or twice a week) into my living room for the past 2 months (I have no ceiling at the moment thanks to a different leak!) but I’m about to put it back up.
As there’s no ceiling I can access the bottom of their bath and I can see water is leaking from the waste trap but there are also a few drops of water appearing on the underside of the bath tub itself. The plumber who came today said he would replace the waste but that the drops of water under the tub itself were somehow caused by the overflow, rather than any kind of crack in their bath. I don’t understand how this can happen, particularly as several times when it’s leaked they’ve told me that there was only a small amount of water in the bath, can someone advise whether that sounds correct?
Many thanks for any advice
