A Factory Fitting Leaked and Damaged My Bathroom: What to Send and How the Claim Is Reviewed

If a factory fitting such as a supply line failed and water damaged your bathroom or the room below, gather three things before you open a ticket: photos of the damage, photos of the failed part showing the exact spot the leak came from, and the contact information for the contractor who installed the tub. Support forwards that package to the corporate team, who review the report and handle the claim from there. The replacement part itself ships under the lifetime parts warranty, while any request about damage to your home is handled as a separate review, because the published warranty covers parts only.

First, Stop the Water and Get the Part Replaced

Shut off the supply to the tub and have your plumber confirm which fitting failed. Then open a ticket at ellasbubbles.com/support or call (800) 480-6850 with your serial number, a description of what happened and a photo of the failed part. The warranty claim guide lists what the team needs. Parts ship under the warranty and a local licensed plumber installs the replacement. Keep the old part. The team will want to see it, especially the area around any nut or connection where the leak appeared, so do not let it go out with the debris.

What to Send for the Damage Review

  1. Photos of the damage to the bathroom, ceiling, flooring or any room below, taken before repairs if at all possible.
  2. Close-up photos of the failed part. For a supply line, photograph the fitting and the nut where the water escaped.
  3. The name and contact information of the contractor who installed the tub. The review looks at both the part and the installation.
  4. Your serial number and a short written description of what happened and when you noticed it.

Send everything through a single ticket so it stays together. Support does not decide the outcome. The package goes to the corporate team, who review it and handle the claim. Because that review happens off the support line, allow time for a response and reply on the same ticket if you have anything to add.

What the Published Warranty Says

The Lifetime Limited Warranty covers the tub and its supporting equipment on a parts-only basis. It expressly excludes water damage to the home and incidental expenses connected with removing or replacing a part. That is why the replacement fitting ships under the warranty, while a request about damage is reviewed case by case rather than promised in advance. The team cannot quote an outcome before the review, and this article does not either.

If You Bought Through a Retailer

Tubs purchased through a retailer follow the same process for the part and the review. The retailer purchase guide explains what to have ready and how support, parts and warranty work for those orders. Damage that happened in transit rather than after installation is a different process, covered in what to do when a tub arrives damaged.

Common Questions

Does the warranty cover water damage to my house?
The published warranty is parts only and excludes water damage to the home and incidental expenses. Each report of damage from a failed factory part is still forwarded to the corporate team for individual review. The team cannot promise an outcome before that review is complete.
Should I keep the part that leaked?
Yes, keep it and photograph it. The review needs clear pictures of the failure point, such as the nut on a supply line, and the team may ask for more angles. Discarding the part makes the cause much harder to confirm.
Why do you need my installer's contact information?
The review looks at both the part and how it was connected, so the corporate team may want to speak with the contractor who did the installation. Have the installer's name and phone number ready when you open the ticket. If the tub was installed by a company, the company contact is fine.
Will Ella send a technician to inspect the damage?
No. Ella does not send technicians. The review is done from your photos, your description and the installer's information. A local licensed plumber handles the replacement part and any repair work.
How do I follow up if I have not heard back?
Reply on the same ticket so your photos and details stay together, or call (800) 480-6850 with your serial number. Ask support to confirm the package was forwarded for review.
