help

urgent advice needed,

just discovered bath has been leaking in the house for some considerable time,

ripped the side panel off, floor is mushy and the walls are a bit crumbly, looks as if it has been constant over a period of time

have a good (i hope contents policy) , can i claim , i think the walls and floor will have to be redone and the bath all ripped out

can i do this

anybody know and will they put the old bath back in if it is leaking

need to know stuff before i phone barclays in the morning

(only noticed after the wee man soaked the place in the bath tonight and as i was mopping up the water (tiled raised floor )i thought too much ater here just for him.

thanks

jase

Check your policy. Personally I would doubt that would be covered. However it won't cost *that* much to fix (as long as the floor joists aren't rotted through ) so don't panic

It depends on the insurance policy. We have accidental damage insurance, costs more but with my accident prone wife we need it, so in the past have claimed for all sorts, from broken sinks, to new carpets and fixing blocked drains.

Best thing to do is ring the insurance company and ask them.

Good Luck

phoned the insurance this morning,

it will be a claim on the buildings, they are sending somebody out, was told they have a company xyz, who will basically estimate and proceed with the job.

2 things

was told i will have to fix the leak, but they will have to rip the bath out etc to redo the walls and floors so surely they will have to re-plumb all this to put it back in.



next question - certain people in the office have suggested the oops !! and wangle the new bathroom suite approach ? !!!!
