	How can I fix a tub that is “sagging” in the middle and therefore never drains all the water? We moved into an apartment that is about 9 years old and the tub collects just a little bit of water in the center that never drains. Looks like the tub “plastic” has sagged in the center. Can it be easily fixed without removing the whole tub? 3 Responses to “How can I fix a tub that is “sagging” in the middle and therefore never drains all the water?” Dayanara Kendrick Said: You will need to remove the bath panel then pack the centre of the tub but don’t do it all at once as you could crack the tub.Pack the centre with timbers like 2×4 on the flat one on top of the other then a piece of plywood as a tight fit the after a couple of days try to ease another piece of plywood in maybe in 1/4” increments until it no longer pools. Good luck and don’t over compensate Amaya59 Said: It was improperly installed. No mortarbed was set under it. Too late to change it now without major demolition. AmiyaV Said: If you can get to the tub exterior by removing a panel or something you can pack insulation or that 3 m spray expanding foam …it has a long tube that you can feed into a small opening. That is a tough one if you cannot get to the outside of the tub. Leave a Reply You must be logged in to post a comment. Posted in Drains Similar Posts you may be interested in ...

See, the maintenence guys at our apartment are just really slow, so they haven’t gotten around to coming to fix it yet, and we’ve tried to fix it ourself, it just hasnt’ worked out so well. Both the bathtub and the sink drains have been clogged for about What should I do if a neighbor’s water drains onto their property line, but in turn, causes damage to my yard? The neighbor’s property line actually runs from my neighbor who lives in an elevated position, so water naturally falls and drains into their property line which is a small area of land above my terrace.
