Bathtub Leak

Signs you may have a Bathtub Leak

Some of the most common signs that you may have a bathtub leak include:

  • Dark rings on your bathtub or surrounding your bathtub
  • Water damage to the bathroom floor/wall behind the bathtub
  • Bathroom ceiling leaks can be traced back to a leaking bathtub faucet.
  • Water stains on the bathtub or tub surround

If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended that you have your bathtub leak checked out by a licensed plumber with experience in bathtub repairs.

What are the Most Common Causes of Bathtub Leaks?

We get many bathtub leak jobs here at Rescue Plumbing.

The MOST common cause of bathtub leaks

The shower is the biggest cause of a bathtub leak. When the shower faucet is turned on, water leaks between the vanity cabinet and the bathtub, eventually leaking into the unit below.

Our most frequent bathtub leak call has an easy remedy.

The solution to bathtub leaks

The solution is to install a corner leak guard from the bathtub connecting the shower wall. A corner leak guard will block water from leaking into that space between the bathtub and vanity cabinet. 

Other common causes of bathtub leaks

There are a few other common bathtub leaks we handle all the time.

  • The bathtub will sometimes leak from the spout diverter, which diverts water from the faucet to the showerhead.
  • The bathtub can also leak from the shower valve mechanism. 
  • The tile grouting/and or caulking could be leaking. 

Whatever the case, Rescue Plumbing can send out a licensed plumber to determine where the source of the bathtub leak and do the work then and there to repair it.

Service was thoughtful, honest, and at the price quoted.

Dex and team were life-savers during a massive sump pump failure event that flooded our basement. Service was thoughtful, honest, and at the price quoted, which, while high, is par for the emergent nature of what we needed done. Diagnosed several issues within our “new” sump setup and gave solid advice throughout. Will use again in a heartbeat.

I will definitely call them again!

Pete and his son came around to my condo this afternoon, and they were awesome! Very professional but also incredibly kind and easy to talk to. Pete was very thorough in his explanations and made us feel included throughout his inspection of the issue. We had initially thought that the unit above us had had a leak with their bathtub, which then traveled down through the floor to cause bubbling in my bathroom ceiling, but Pete was able to assess the problem very quickly – It was actually a result of the last heavy snow creating excess water which leaked through the exterior wall…

They were extremely polite and professional!

We used Rescue Plumbing for a rusted-on leaky sink strainer. They were able to come out the very next day, which was great. Logan and Djenkis were right on time and wore masks and booties without being asked. They fixed the issue quickly for the quoted price and even reconnected the piping for us at no extra cost. They were extremely polite and professional and we will definitely be using Rescue for any plumbing issues in the future.
