View Full Version : bathtub clang in the morning

In the morning, when I step on a certain location in my bathroom floor just beside the bathtub, I will hear a clang from my bathtub. It's not heard if I step on the same location the rest of the day.

Also, after taking a hot shower in the bathtub, 5 or 10 minutes later, I will hear a clang.

When I say clang, not sure if this is the best term, I refer to a sound as if something hard hittng a metal surface (think bathtub).

Is this serious? Or it's just normal tear and wear that I may have to fix in the future. When do I need to get it fix? I really don't mind the sound since it's only happening once in the morning but don't want the situation to lead to serious damage to flooring/tub.

Thanks for any advice!
