yes run a smear of clear silicone round the lip of the waste where it sits in the basin ans a bead of silicone around the thread then fit the washer/nut.
or fit a basin mate.

just purchased a basin mate
fitted 1 this evening, will do the other tomorrow
right its still leaking from where the basin mate meets the basin. Just from one end, but its leaking
what do you mean one end ?
Undo - add a smear of silicone - do up. That`ll sort it

1. It's a basin not a sink - kitchen sink, wash hand basin
2. Where's your sealing washer that fits between the backnut and basin?
3. These are a pain, I always run a bead around the slotted waste where it comes out of the bottom of the basin, then fit the washer, then tighten the backnut, then run another bead of silicone around the bottom of the nut to seal the thread a second time
