Our kitchen is directly below the bathroom and this morning my wife noticed a brown stain on the kitchen ceiling. I went up to the bathroom, removed the bath panel, closed the plug, and half filled the bath. No leak showing. Opened the plug again to empty the bath and the water came pouring out from the waste onto the floor. Closed the plug immediately. Then saw that there was no rubber washer fitted but simply a thick wad of clear silicone instead and this was hanging loose allowing water to escape. I have decided to replace the whole waste but the problem is that the tap and waste are on the side of the bath against a wall and I have no access to either other thsn removing the bath completely or cut an access door in the bedroom wall and fit a new waste system through there. I think that simple pop up waste with an overflow facility would suit fine but I am not a plumber. Advice needed.
