How do I stop my tub from draining water?
Block a bathtub drain with a single-serve coffee cup or small plastic medicine cup. An empty pod (like a Keurig cup) or a 15 ml medicine cup may be just the right size to effectively block the drain. Firmly place the plastic pod or cup into the drain (bottom first) and begin filling the tub to see how well it holds. Dec 3, 2019
Why does it leak when I take a bath but not a shower?
If you see water leaking, it is very likely you have loose connections in the drain fitting or the drain trap below the tub. Tighten or repair them as needed. If running water in the tub causes no leaking, run the shower instead. Jan 29, 2022
How do I find out where my bathtub is leaking?
Be on the lookout for curling vinyl flooring or loose tiles, peeling or flaking paint, worn-out wood finishing, water stains on the ceiling, mold on the wall or floor, or general pooling around the base of the tub. Spotting these tell tale signs early might be able to save your bathroom from bigger issues.
