Hi,


As per previous posts, the old plumbing in my bathroom started to leak from a endfeed joint recently. I have had to rip out the new (2years old) bath to get to the leak to fix it... However there are a number of old endfeed joints of equal quality (large solder drips, flux still on the pipes), that weren't replaced.

I really dont want to have rip the bath out again, so question is, is there anything I can do stop future leaks on the joints? Or is it the case of wait and see? I thought about coating the joints in epoxy or plastic metal? Is this a bad idea or do I need to replumb everything which also would be a pita.

Thanks in advance

The only way to get peace of mind if you still have doubts is to replace all the joints/pipe work whilst the bath is out.
