I have a problem with water between my fiberglass tub surround and the iron tub under it, The question is how do I get rid of the water?

Hi Unknown...

About the only way to get rid of the water will be to remove the tub drain assembly... the tub basket part... and then let the water drain out from between the two layers.

Pick up a tub drain removal tool... see image... loosen/remove tub basket counterclockwise and let water run out (use a towel and push the water down and out). Then use some plumber's PUTTY around the strainer and re-install.

That should get most of the water out. Then you want to find HOW the water got in there.. Any small pin holes or loose silicone..

Let me know what you think...
