I edited my reply to include another example too.Mmm. Interesting. Than you for the tip. I'll have a look later and see that's a possible solution. Thanks for that. Will save me having to remove the bath at least.

That sounds like an option. Not keen at the mo as I foresee issues later (it's a tenanted property and I know what'll happen, they won't tell me that the floor is flooded for years).I bought an Ideal Standard bath about 10 years ago, which had the same problem with the tap holes. The fibreglass was much thicker on one side of the hole than the other, so there was no way that standard washers would have sealed.
A few minutes with a sanding disc on an angle grinder fixed the problem. I sent a letter of complaint to Ideal Standard with photos, but they never acknowledged receipt of it...
I also had a similar problem to you with the waste on a resin shower tray (unknown brand). For that one, I manufactured a "sloping" sealing washer out of silicone, using a couple of clingfilm-covered pieces of board and a few wedges. That worked very well - no problems so far after many years in use.
So I suspect many baths / shower trays have this problem, and the manufacturers don't give a toss?
That's a very narrow bath if you're spanning it with a 40cm level. I assume, therefore, that you're using the level with artistic licence.Yep, that's where I'm at at the mo. It's just a real pest though.
This is the bath top edge.

That was the problem. With the outlet from the bath at the angle it is, when tightened the pipe pointed downwards. It was about half an inch lower than the pipe passing through the wall. The only choice then would have been to recut the hole and lower the whole fall.Oh .... ermm ... weeeeellllllll .... not sure if you have sorted the problem there rather stored some up for the future. Over time that flexi will sag with the weight of the hot water, that'll then slow the draining and possibly cause a blockage.
By the looks of it, that could easily have been turned through 90 deg and hard piped/solvent welded.
Oooo. Looks like somethings hit a nerve.Typical landlord cutting corners and not wanting to hire a trade!
