In this video, I discuss bathtub drain leak repair and how to fix leaking bathtub and leaking bathtub drain.
Parts needed for this repair available on Amazon Here -
1. Drain wrench Tool - amzn.to/3AbWEAt
2. Plumbers putty - amzn.to/3AbWPvD
3. Teflon tape - amzn.to/3hnwX7d
If you have a fiberglass bathtub in your place, chances are it flexes and the seal around the drain will become compromised over time. This is especially true if you can hear your bathtub making noises when you walk around in it. If you notice staining on your ceiling downstairs or already now that your bathtub leaking downstairs then you know it is time to repair your bathtub drain.
This repair I do no my bathtub drain about once every two years. It only takes about 15 minutes and is cheap to do.
Well everyone, I hope you found this video helpful on bathtub drain leak repair and leaking bathtub drain and how to fix leaking bathtub. If you did, please give this video a like and I hope you see you back in future videos!

Not trying to be a know it all, you seem to be doing very well on your own. But a quick word of advice (and hopefully it helps other viewers). When applying teflon tape, hold the fitting in your left hand (with the threads facing to the right) and go clock wise with the tape (away from you). When you are tightening the fitting, the tape works in the direction you're tightening. Makes a much better seal. Keep going strong DIY gang!

Im in a single story (1 floor) house living in Houston, Texas, and had a bath tub leak when the shower was on. Water drained through the sheet rock, went through the trim, soaking up the bedroom carpet. I have not called the plumber yet. Can someone please DIY advise so I can save $$$$.

"away from you" going over the top? As in clockwise from looking at the bottom of the fitting?

@juggernaut911 9 месяцев назад
ive been a plumber for 25 years, this is a great video but heres a couple things: 1)try to apply teflon tape orientation so the flap cannot unravel itself, apply it going away from you in a clockwise direction. 2)try to apply a small amount of pipe dope on drain shoes gasket (both sides) it makes a little bit of a better deal 3)plumbers putty doesn’t need to dry, test immediately and you can shower 5 minutes after

Plumbers putty definitely does NOT need to "dry" or set, in fact it should stay soft and pliable for many years. No need to wait 24 hours before using the tub, you can use it right away. It's highly repellant of water. As always, follow the instructions on the container.

Looked at 3 different videos, this was the best and most complete. The other 2 didn't even mention the washer between the tub and the drain pipe. I don't think anyone ever did this to tub in probably 15 years. The washer was all dried, cracking and falling apart. I bought the tool, putty and the washer for less than $20 and probably spent 20+ minutes for the whole job. My plumber charges $90 to walk in the door. Great video, keep it up JMG.

This is an absolutely amazing video. I had a leak in a second floor tub drain which presented itself as a drip coming from a first floor ceiling light fixture. Thinking that it would require access from below the tub, I was expecting it to involve cutting out part of the first floor ceiling. Thankfully, I decided to see if any self help videos were available on the repair process and this was the first one I looked at. You presented it very clearly and made it look much easier than I had dared to imagine it could be. I decided to do it myself and had it completed in less than an hour at no cost. ( I already have plumbers putty and my neighbor has a tub drain wrench.) Thank You for taking the time to produce this video. Tonight I shall enjoy an ice cold beverage in your honor.

Thanks for posting that. I bought the tool you used and used it to get the drain in and reinstall it after. The gasket advice was good, I doubt I'd have noticed that on my own. My own drain had been installed by a plumber to correct some very crummy work done when the house was built. I'd washed the tub and noticed the drain could be pushed down a little bit. When I got it out, there was almost NO sign of putty. Now it's all back in place and tight as it should be. It took between 10 and 15 minutes max, going slowly Thank you again!

I think this is my problem. The tub was put in by a licensed contractor, and he used a licensed plumber. But it has been five years since installation. Now we have a house full of family, and we have a leak on the ceiling when someone uses the shower or water is let out of the tub. I'm going to get a wrench and reseal my drain tomorrow.

Nice repair but please advise guests that when you set a fiberglass bathtub it should be set on top of a mortar base. Your's was obviously not done correctly because if it were it would not flex! The bottom would be solid set in the mortar.

Don’t force the “tightness” otherwise you may very well cause a crack, then you’re dealing with a much bigger issue. Also, apply Teflon tape in opposite of tightening. Tightening clockwise, apply it counterclockwise. One of the most important things is to clean the gobs of hair/bio out. The plastic tool for a couple dollars works really well. You can usually get that crap pulled up and use needle nose pliers to grasp and continue pulling what will look like a dead harry animal out of the drain. If you don’t clean out your drain and it does back up, it allows for more water to sit around those sealed points instead of draining quickly, which in turn will allow it to leak a bit more.

@bobthrasher8226

The pressure between the bottom-side of the tub and the ABS drain pipe flange against both sides of the gasket should be sufficient to prevent leaks if the gasket is not compromised. You want these surfaces to be clean before assembly just as you would for any gasket application. The putty does not prevent leaks but merely prevents water from stagnating beneath the decorative flange so that it drains over the flange and into the hole.

You saved me a lot of aggravation! I had a plumber come to diagnose the leak stain in my garage ceiling. He quickly located the leak from the tub but would not fix it. He said his companay did not deal with bathtubs and referred me to a renovation specialist. What a crock! Your instructions were very clear and the repair went very easily. I was worried about removing the drain with 34 year old plumbers putty but it came out no problem.

Excellent video, well done thanks! Although tightly-pulled teflon tape seldom gets caught on the thread grooves, it's always best to apply the tape the way several plumbers noted in their comments on this video: Hold in the left hand, and wrap away from you, as in"righty tighty". Overlap slightly, as you work from midway down to bottom of the threads. The most important step is to pull tight the tape, which you did, and that explains why it works even when you wrap tape in the "wrong" direction. Awesome presentation!

Great video. Definitely helped answer a couple of questions I had. Just wanted to note that you can use a screw driver in between your pliers handles to get some more leverage if you don’t want to buy the tool. Personally I’m glad I bought it, because I still had a leak after fixing the seal. A little extra tightness stopped my leak.

I am in a 3 story house and the bathtub drain on the main floor started leaking. It’s fiberglass and was put it 2 years ago. I know the leak is coming from the drain due to a gap between the tub and the o ring because when i touch that area from under the tub it dripped water down. The leak fortunately is small but I had to remove a tile from the basement ceiling because it was wet.

I am glad I watched this video. I thought it was just a matter of putting some caulk around the drain. I will call my plumber to do this for me. It is not something I would want to mess up. Thanks.

@@arkangel2351 - Sorry to hear it's leaking again. If I were you, I would probably try using silicone instead of plumbers putty this time around. Silicone usually seals the best.

I really like your video. however Teflon tape is not applied to the drain shoe because it does not have a tapered thread, therefore the Teflon tape will do absolutely nothing. That's what the rubber washer and putty is for. Hope this helps. I'm more than happy to answer any questions.
@JMGENTERPRISES
@JMGENTERPRISES 2 года назад
Thanks for your input! Makes sense. I'll have to not use the Teflon tape moving forward. I had a plumber buddy tell me to use it but I guess he is wrong.
@jljw11
@jljw11 2 года назад
Also it looked like you were applying the Teflon tape backwards. When you do use it you should always apply it in the direction of the threads so it won't back off when installing.

Usually the manufacturer recommends the use of 100 percent silicone on acrylic or fiberglass tubs and shower pans instead of putty to help with the flexing of the materials. Good luck and happy plumbing.

I always run the Teflon tape the opposite way you screw in the drain so as to prevent any tape from bunching up on the threads.

great video...i was in crawlspace and noticed wet area under tub area...water is leaking from drain...initially i was going to replace the gasket under the tub but then i thought...it may just be need to be repaired above tub at drain...if the drain plumbers putty and new threadctape is used there would be no reason for drain to leak correct?...in other words the gasket under the tub drain is really not critical as the area above?
@JMGENTERPRISES
@JMGENTERPRISES 7 месяцев назад
You are correct. The leak usually occurs through a leaky gasket on the top.
