Wasps recovered from back-to-back Premiership losses as they sentenced Worcester to a ninth-straight defeat.
After Worcester went ahead with Jamie Shillcock’s early penalty, Wasps turned it round to lead 14-3 at the break when veteran Jimmy Gopperth converted tries from James Gaskell and Tom Willis.
Charlie Atkinson’s penalty stretched the visitors’ lead to 17-3.
Warriors secured a losing bonus point with Nick David’s try converted by Shillcock, who added another penalty.
But it could not prevent a 13th straight league win for Wasps over Worcester.
They have not lost to Warriors since moving to the Midlands from Buckinghamshire in 2014.
