Insulation under bath

[dk3]

Hi there, bathroom was noticeably cold with a draught, I took panel off and can see some gaps where pipework is. Upstairs bathroom. It looks like there is insulation under the floor boards but could I add insulation to the exposed area to mitigate the draught? Or is insulation under a bath a no no attracting moisture etc.

Many thanks for any advice.

Insulation should be fine laid over the floor you would be advised to try and slip some board over the hole first, as an ex plumber I would plead with you not to use glass fibre or rock wool it is horrible itchy stuff to work around when some poor soul has to access the pipes at some point!
Use this stuff made from recycled plastic bottles really good and totally non itch!
