Heiress in bath lather

Stop her be fore she bathes again!

Fashion star and British brewery heiress Daphne Guinness’ downstairs neighbors want a judge to bar her from taking any more baths in her $15 million apartment on Fifth Avenue — at least until she learns to bathe responsibly.

In a Manhattan Supreme Court suit, Karim and Tina Samii say Guinness, 42, has repeatedly sudsed their $12 million apartment with her bath water, and they’ve had enough.

The Pardus Capital president and his wife say that since Guinness moved in 2008 to her $15 million apartment — in the for mer Stanhope Hotel across from the Met Mu seum — she has flooded their flat four times.

One flooding was the fault of contractors, but the others all happened after the skunk-haired style maven left the bath running inside her sprawling apart ment in 995 Fifth Ave., the papers say.

The Samiis want “in excess of $1 mil lion” for repairs and “mental anguish.”

The first bath brou haha took place last Halloween, when the Samiis found “water leaking from the ceil ing of their master bedroom to the floor.”

The Samiis called the super “and Ms. Guinness’ assistant told him that Ms. Guinness had just taken a bath,” the suit claims.

On May 9, the Samiis again saw water raining down. When the super investigated, he found Guinness “in the kitchen talking on the phone” while the tub overflowed.

Guinness, the 42-year-old ex-wife of Greek shipping tycoon Spyros Niarchos, told the super “she had turned on the water to her bathtub, left it unattended and had then forgotten all about it,” the suit says.

Water gushed again Oct 10, when, according to the suit, the super caught Guinness’ assistants “attempting to dry the floor with bath towels.”

Guinness, who spends most of her time in England, could not be reached. Her rep told London’s Daily Telegraph she wouldn’t comment on “a personal matter.”
