    Hi there,

    I have just noticed in my downstairs toilet that it looks as if there might be a leak of a build up of water coming from the bathroom upstairs. I have just felt the water marks and it is still damp plus there are black marks which I am presuming is mould.

    Can anyone help with what this might be? I’ve added pictures and I have wiped the black away now but hopefully they help?

    Thanks

    Yes it is pretty much directly over. I will attach pictures of the bath but how would I know where the seal is and if it’s gone?

    Thank you so much for your reply

    Your bath overflow is hanging loose ,maybe other leak elsewhere as well

    I bet it's the loose overflow. Needs sorting

    I would remove the bath panel ,repair the overflow and check for other leaks ,particularly on waste .

    If overflow has moved it might also be worth checking the same corrugated tube to the waste outlet and all connections.
