There is another thing that might cure the problem !
try caulking the foor where the flooring materinal meets the bottom of the tub wall-actually run a bead around the walls too-to seal the openings water escapes down into. But caulking the the bottom of the tub wall where the flooring meets the tub is a must !

The plastic shields are a good deterrent but can't stop it all-as some people are messy.

Another thing might be the rubber seal behind yer tub overflow drain-where the stopper drain lever is. $1.59 on the rubber gasket.Ot it's loose-tighten the screw in the middle

Another suspect point of interest may be yer tub floor drain- it may have worked it's way loose. Or the rubber gasket may be worn causing leakage. A ten dollar tool and a 99 cent gasket is the fix on that one. A little tricky getting the gasket through the whole and aligned correctly ,but can be fixed from on top !

so you have two drains to check out on and in your tub- the over flow drain where stopper release lever is the the tub floor drain. Both have rubber gaskets that wear out. and both can loosen .One is a screw and that is apparent-the other the floor drain requires a tool.

Everything else is a good caulk seal at the floor and around your tub where the walls meet the the top of the tub wall.

and if yer still in a condo-it could be coming from a upper unit if there is one !
