Bath Waste Pipe Leaking

[gavman99]

Hi.........A new bath has just been installed. All the connectors and pipes were brand new with the exception of the waste trap which I just took off the old bath as it seemed absolutely fine.

However this appears to be where the leak is coming from (connection between top of the trap and the bath), so I used about half a tub of plumbers mait in the threads, and although it appeared to fix the problem last night, there appeared to be a slight trickle of water coming from it again this morning...........any ideas ?

Hi
didyou leave the rubber washer on the trap wear it screws on to the waste fitting ?. the trap slots into waste with rubber washer between.

When I unscrewed the fitting, I don't recall seeing any washer. And I don't recall the trap slotting into the waste fitting. I think it was flush with it, and then the screw from the trap screwed onto the waste pipe.
