Following some very wet bathroom carpet, we found that there is a small leak (1 drip every 2 or 3 seconds) coming from the hot water pipe underneath the bath (ie actually visible once the side panel of bath has been removed). Although small leak, it has neverthless lead to soaking wood underneath the bath that is now causing damp patches on the floor / ceiling below. Is it possible that this will be able to be sorted with some special sort of tape , or that part of the pipe needs to be replaced? Looked in a few places for advise , including Readers Digest manual etc, but nothing seems to deal with this clearly enough for my very untechnical mind.
Would of course be grateful for any advise that means I dont have to call a plumber....as simply no money these days.
Thanks very much
