The big lead overflow pipe on our bath had been hammered together so that
no water could flow through it.

It was no problem until someone left a bath tap running and water went
over the wall side of the bath, down the wall and down the kitchen wall
too.

Still, the kitchen walls needed cleaning and painting ...

We had exactly this situation as well. I can't say it was a pleasant job
to remove it either; 20+ years of very smelly gunk came out of it.

I wouldn't know. I was too big to get into the space to do it.

Well, that was my story and I'm sticking to it!
