No. 1 leak points are around the sealant between the bath and the wall...well worth an afternoon stripping the old stuff off and applying a new seal.

yep double check the bath to wall seal, of course this will only leak if you have a shower in/over the bath.

hopefully you'll only need a new waste kit on it, such as this..

Nono, I just need a tiny rubber band from around the plug! Believe it or not, I saw it on the side of the bath (can only assume this was a piratical manoeuvre) and asked my friends who were staying over if it was theirs or not. They said no, so I said "hmm, I wonder if it is from my plug" and they said "No, don't be silly".-, so I threw it away.

Try here, you'll need to buy the plug, check the size first. wink.gif
