Thanks for the top advice on stopping the leak from within the basin and around the waste.
Now we've a new problem! Where the square chrome bottle trap meets and connects to the bottom of the slotted waste, the two pipes butt together with a flat rubber washer between them. A nut then screws from the bottle trap onto the thread of the slotted waste. However, a few seconds after you run the tap or empty the basin, water starts to drip out of the underside of the nut.
We thought at first it was the join between the nut and the thread but PTFE tape has not solved it.
Has anybody got advice on what you can do when the narrow threaded section from the waste just butts up to the pipe into the bottle trap?
The waste is a Bristan push button waste and the bottle trap is the Picasso as sold by Crosswater (but from their manufacturer in Italy). The underside of the sink is visible as it's a wall hung basin so whatever we do needs to look nice!
I've added a photograph of the trap and the technical drawing that came with it to my photo album.
