Hi,
My sink refuses to stop leaking. The sink is an old victorian one and rather than renew it, it cleaned up well and Ive replaced the fittings.
The taps are fine, the problem is the plug hole.
The waste I bought came with a rubber washer and a plastic nut. I fitted the waste correctly with the washer underneath the sink, but it leaked. I pumped silicone around the waste to create a seal between the sink and the waste and tried again, with no luck. The leak seems to get worse when the hot tap is run. Could it be the sealent Im using (It is the right stuff and its new) or maybe I just need to pump s**t loads of it around the waste?
Any help would be helpful and appreciated.
Cheers.
