Thank you to you both, this seems to be working, I appreciate you both came up with the same answer. I’ve never seen a basin set up like this, one to know for the future!

Yes it’s pretty tight.

I see where you’re coming from but there is a rubber seal between the underneath of the waste to the top of the overflow plastic piece which would block the flow as per your diagram.

The slot sits within the ceramic part of the basin, water can't enter via the top of the waste due to a rubber seal, nor from the underneath due to a rubber seal. Perhaps I'm not understanding your diagram?

There’s definitely no internal overflow, pics attached.

Yes it is, we were told this is what we needed. It doesn’t help that RAKs own website show this basin as having no overflow whatsoever. I appreciate I need to get an unslotted waste but my problem still exists as to how the overflow connects to a waste.

Hello, The wife has bought a RAK Chameleon basin for a cloakroom. The overflow leads to a plastic piece which connects with the waste from under the sink. The issue I have is that the slotted part of the waste sits within the ceramic part of the basin, this means that the overflow water leads...

Thanks for this. I bought this https://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-underground-flexible-adaptor-110mm/19914?tc=VT4&ds_kid=92700055281954505&ds_rl=1249404&gclid=Cj0KCQiAmL-ABhDFARIsAKywVafm_eHNMOrWgMisnbA_TqriP0A2dZC_Po8uykpfsxo9kfDSrcYYLBEaAvRSEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds which worked a dream!

I’ve added a picture of the instructions. I don’t see any seal. Is it something I can buy?

I’m currently fitting an Abacus WC wall hung frame. Not experienced with fitting toilets so some advice would be helpful. The toilet frame comes with a 110mm elbow waste connector, I was assuming it would fit into the existing white pipe part but it is loose. Is there any adapter or should the...

We have a 70's house, the walls are solid but the internal block work is terrible. I've struggled getting decent fixings into the walls due to the walls being very crumbly. I had some of these screws supplied with Fischer UX 8 plugs for a piece of furniture to be installed. These screws &...

sorry to hijack your thread but we’re in almost identical position and was wondering what you were quoted for the job?

Just moved into a new house and found out that under the carpets in the original house that parquet was laid. The house was extended and it appears that screed was poured into the extension and partly over the original parquet in the original house. we want to tile the whole downstairs with...

I appreciate it’s hard to know without looking at my house but I’ve had a quote and I just want to get a sense as to whether it sounds correct or not. I have a four bed detached house in the Surrey / Hampshire area. The work quoted for is; - Removal of old potterton boiler from downstairs wc...

Hi, we’re close to completing on a new house. We think we have a vented system. There is a Potterton Profile 50e boiler downstairs. There is a cold water tank in the loft and a cylinder in an airing cupboard in the first floor. Our home buyer survey suggested that the system is old and needs...
