It is worth putting a claim in anyway, if there is no cover under your policy you can simply withdraw the claim.





Damage such as this is often gradual damage, which means the water has been leaking for a long time. Many companies will have limited cover for gradual damage - but only if the leak comes from a pipe.





In your case if it is from the tub itself the claim may be declined due to this exclusion. But you don't know until you try, and you may find you have cover if it isn't gradual, but a sudden event.
Not accidental damage is it - it is a leak! Totally different thing!





You should be covered
