I hate to redo it all for a drip. Before replacing the whole thing, I'll try to repair the leak which seems to be at the bottom
Based on that and the very short distance between fittings he will have to go back to points where the tube can be cut and spliced and new PEX and fittings be put in.(make sure you shut everything off first) Let us know how you make out - never been able to get one of those compression clamps off to replace. Plus if it's a Viega version there is an insert that is integral.
Don’t be afraid of the pex...it’s easy to work with. I remodeled our bathroom in our old house that we just sold in 2020 and used Uponor (expansion pex fittings). It was super easy and worked great. The crimp style is easier to find now. Easier than soldering copper even though I did some of that too. If it were me...and the Luan (or particle board which ever it is) is still structurally sound, I’d get some linoleum scraps from Home Depo or Lowe’s to put down there to make it water proof for the future and it will look nice too. I used some wood grain linoleum and curled it up on the edges to make it water proof.. I hate to redo it all for a drip. Before replacing the whole thing, I'll try to repair the leak which seems to be at the bottom. Probably will eventually hire a pro to replace with updated pex. Thanks for your help.
