Step 7 · Test for Leaks

The final step is to test your work. Close the drain stopper and fill the tub with several inches of water. Let the water sit for at least 10-15 minutes. While it's sitting, if you have access from below, check the drain assembly for any signs of drips. If you don't have access, keep a close eye on the ceiling of the room directly below the bathtub for any new water stains. After waiting, open the drain and let all the water drain out, again checking for any leaks as the water flows through the pipe. If no leaks are found, the job is complete.
