A moisture barrier unit (17) to be interposed between a bath fixture (11) such as a tub (11') and an underlayment (13) such as particle board (13') wherein the moisture barrier unit (17) includes: a resilient member (18) which rests on a sub-support (12) such as a subfloor (12') and is compressed between the tub (11') and the particle board (13'); and a waterproof flange member (20) which covers a portion of the block member (18) and the particle board (13') such that the moisture barrier unit (17) will serve to prevent water from contacting either the particle board (13') or the subfloor (12') when the conventional caulk bead (16) becomes cracked.
