Steel baths & condensation

[nebby]

I have a problem with a steel bath in a bathroom with no window only a fan, on the underneath of the bath there is an excessive amount of water created by what i can only assume is condensation.

Its on the sides, the base, even on the underneath where the taps are fitted so no its not a leak because the water would have to run down the edge of the bath and then back up to get to the taps and obviously water does not run upwards!

Has anyone else come across this before and is there any soultion apart from changing the bath to a fibreglass.

Thanks in advance

your taps are leaking

Pack the area with insulation

You could pack around the bath with insulation like the loft rolls you get.

Get your extractor checked too

you dont mention of bath full of water so i assume it is empty, therefore it cannot condensate when empty or am i wrong?.

If heat is coming up through the floor to a cold bathroom then it can condensate as its hot air meeting a cold surface. Pack with insulation will stop it
