I fitted a new kitchen sink but used the existing plumbing, unfortunately due to the slight difference in location of the plug holes I've been unable to get a perfect seal on some of the plumbing joints (despite my best efforts!).
I've used some external leak sealer which has successfully stopped what were minor droplets, however the kitchen cupboard now stinks and I really want it fixed.
This was never an issue, so I can only assume that although now watertight the trains must not be airtight hence the smell. I've tried the usual bleach, chemical cleaners etc but they are not a lasting solution.
I think the next step is to get a plumber in to replace the entire piping, but before I do does anyone have any alternatives?
Also lastly is it possible have the washing machine waste after the trap? That would stop the smells coming up from the plug hole at least.
Cheers
