Hi,
The lead trap under the bathroom sink has decided to start leaking this morning. Water is dripping from the cover plate on the bottom of the trap.
We have a plumber coming on Monday to take a look at it and decide what to do for the best, but is there a temporary solution so that I can keep using the basin? It all looks quite fragile and potentially corroded, so I don't want to fiddle too much in case it breaks off in my hand!
I guess the plumber will swap it out for plastic, but I did wonder if it is worth a few turns of PTFE tape around the joint as a temporary measure? Will that hold?!
Thanks
