How to fix a leaking washing machine
At a real client’s home in Grand Cayman, we found two connected problems: a leak from a small hole in the washing machine basin, and poor drainage that left clothes very wet after the wash cycle. These are the real job photos and the steps we took to resolve the faults.
1. Identify the leak and the drainage problem
A loose bolt had made the basin unstable. As it spun out of control, it hit the side of the machine and the impact created a small hole, allowing water to escape. Separately, a blockage in the lower section prevented water from draining properly.

We reinstalled the bolt to address the instability that had caused the impact. Fixing the underlying mechanical problem mattered: patching the hole alone would not address the reason the basin had been hitting the side.
3. Patch the small hole with special sealant
We patched the damaged area of the basin using a special sealant. This addressed the point where water was escaping. A repair like this depends on the damage and material; the sealant’s preparation and curing requirements must be followed, and some damaged basins need replacement rather than patching.
4. Unclog the lower drainage section
We cleared the blocked section at the bottom of the machine so water could drain properly again. This addressed the other symptom the client had noticed: clothes remaining very wet after the cycle ended.

Reinstalling the bolt, patching the hole and clearing the blockage fixed this washing machine’s leak and related issues. Before using a repaired machine again, allow any sealant to cure as specified and check for leaks, stable operation and proper drainage.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a washing machine leak repair cost?
Our standard rate is $125 KYD per hour. Larger jobs are quoted per project. The total depends on the fault, access and any materials or parts needed. Send us a photo for a quote specific to your machine.
How long does the repair take?
The time needed depends on the cause of the leak, how much dismantling is required and whether replacement parts are available. A sealant repair also needs the product’s specified curing time before the machine can be used. We can advise on timing after assessing the fault; we do not promise a fixed turnaround before inspection.
What materials are needed?
For this job, the work involved reinstalling the loose bolt, using a special sealant to patch the basin and clearing the blockage in the lower drainage section. Sealant must suit the basin material and operating conditions. The exact product was not recorded here, so this is not a recommendation to use a generic household sealant. Other machines may require replacement parts instead.
What does the repair involve?
We inspect the leak and drainage problem, access the affected parts, address the underlying mechanical fault and repair the damage where appropriate. In this case that meant reinstalling the bolt, sealing the small hole and unclogging the lower section. Before returning a machine to use, the repair should be checked for leaks, stable movement and proper drainage.
Can I keep using a leaking washing machine?
Stop using it until the cause is assessed. Water near electrical equipment and unstable moving parts can be dangerous. If safe to do so, disconnect power and turn off the water supply. Do not open panels or reach into the machine while it is connected to power.
