Was in the process of replacing a bottle trap & waste for a bathroom basin. The original trap had been on there for donkeys years and had a ton of plumbers mate pasted on as well as having been painted over. Couldn't get the locknut for the waste loosened thanks to the goon who had clogged up the threads with paint and sealer! So the big boy adj spanner was fetched. No still wouldn't budge so used a bit more force CRACK! The ceramic around the waste had cracked
So now I've got to go fit a new basin. Ah well it's an excuse to replace the existing taps I'd been meaning to do for some time. The other half has picked a waterfall tap see here, anyone know if these are any good as I'll be fitting this basin. I'm hoping not to have to mess around with the existing tile work though the old style basin had supporting brackets which I'll need to remove and was smaller so the new basin will I hope fit onto the existing tiles.
