Bathroom leak

Posted by C DP, on
How to tell if it's a sealant leak or a pipe leak?

Hi there, the best way to check is to run the bath and see if the leak happens, if it does leak when you pull the plug u know it's pipework or a trap. If it doesn't, then simulate a shower by spraying the shower around the tiled wall and edge of baths silicone This way you should find out if it's the seal, pipework or. Both Hope this helps John

Hi there, to be honest there is no way to tell. A good diagnosis from an experienced plumber will give you an answer. JIRELAND PLUMBER
