Ah so the pipe isn't leaking sadly, but this area in the pic is v wet if I put my finger around here and behind the plaster it's wet. It's far away from the damp up the walls though. So must be external wall has somewhere failing after all these years

Thanks for that. Gonna check one more thing I noticed the bath waste external pipe is quite old. My ptrap was replaced but this pipe remained it could be that on letting out of the water there's a leak in the waste pipe. Just thinking it's worth double checking letting the water out with the...

Hi all, I have had a few leaks in my bathroom last year but they were rectified. The problem I now face is what looks like rising damp in a spot along the bathroom wall first image. i pulled bath panel off and its dry underneath. I took the skirting off here and its really damp see second...

This makes sense. So what I think has happened is they have reused the plastic that was there when they stopped my really bad leak. These flexible pipes were used to prevent ripping out the bath . Having said that when the taps were repositioned for easy access, the copper should have extended...

i hear you thanks for the feedback it makes sense. To be fair, I had a major copper pipe leak a few weaks ago as it corroded over time it was a tight fitting and these flexible pipes were used to avoid ripping everything out. But yeah, once that was fixed and the new taps installed in a new...

Oh really that bad. Guess I've wasted my money then. What's the fix complete replacement?

Hi all, Got another leak. I had a tap on the bath leaking so had them replaced last week. All was good but then noticed a slight wet bit beneath the pipes feeding the taps. I have located the leak using a tissue. I noticed tissue is wet whether tap is on or off. It's v minor but it shouldn't...

Thanks, apologies but which cross head are we referring to, would this be under the 'hot' cap in the tap? I think the taps will need replacing as the diverter when put to the showerhead leaks from the diveter when on. But thought if I can stop thos pooling in the meantime all good. Once I have...

I gave it a tighten but still persists. However, had this of worked surely it would have just been keeping water inside the tap and not escaping? The leak is from somewhere and does not appear to be underneath where else could it be?

Sorry I should mention this is happening regardless of hot tap or or off. I leave it off and come back and there's slight pooling of water

Hi all, Another day another leak. This time I have noticed some pooling of water at the base of the tap. I checked under the bath/tap and don't believe it's from there. Am I right in thinking it's the valve on the tap that needs replacing? It's not coming from anywhere else above the tap that...

Damn that's annoying we reset the overflow as it wasnt aligned properly now looks like we ill have to replace it with the waste. Hopefully as mentioned two people can do it without removing the bath. Let's see

This was interesting I put a screwdriver on top on the plug in the bath and it will turn but it won't tighten so I stopped. May be worn away.

Thanks for this. It's quite hard to get under the bath I may have to get a plumber in to move out the bath which is frustrating as the previous leaks were fixed without moving out the bath.

Thanks. Here is the bath pic of the plug hole... Should I have a tighten?

The p trap one? It's quite stiff which way?

Ah I see what you mean the crud. When you say buy a new one is that a bath waste? I think the whole bath will have to come out to do now sadly.

Hi all, I have moved into a place and I have had a couple of leaks on the bath that have been fixed. First the water pipe was continuously leaking and apparently had been for some time. That was fixed. The overflow from the bath to the pipe was dislodged and that was made good. All good. I do...

Thank all for your help for it rectified today. The amount of stuff in the entire p trap was unreal. Solid too. I also can't believe how unscrewed the whole drain to pipe was.

What a great response and really helpful. Thank you. So actually in my imagine going up is actually loosening it? Or in your rotated image turning right. It's been like this for years it was only last few months sink has got a blocked and examining revealed this. I'll have a go. Cheers.
