I have a strange situation in my bathroom, all the copper water pipes
are bonded to earth externally but I sometimes get a tingle to taps when
standing in the shower, (About 5 volts measured from metal round drain
to taps)
I can only assume that when the house was built(on concrete slab) the
reo steel in the concrete was not bonded to earth which is a requirement
today
You need to fix that.

I can not be bothered at the moment am not the slightest bit worried
that it is ever going to electrocute anyone, Some day I may jackhammer a
bit of concrete to expose some reo and bond it,
I would not bother.
If anything you bond the metal waste pipe (UK regs)
