Hello,
Can anyone help? I am currently fitting my first bathroom suite Romsey B&Q. everything going great till I tested the basin after fitting and found out that the waste was leaking. It does not leak when taps are running with no plug in or when basin is full with the plug is in. It only appears to happen when i tested the integral overflow. The chrome waste that was supplied with the bathroom only came with one thin rubber washer and a back nut. As There were no instructions with this I decided to apply some silicon to the underside of the chrome waste before inserting into the waste hole. Then the rubber washer and back nut were fitted to the underside. I reckon the water is running down the threads of the waste past the nut. Is what i have done right and should i use thread tape on the waste and back nut.
Also the Romsey taps only come with one washer for each tap. Should this be fitted between the tap and basin on the top, or between the back nut and basin on the underside with a bead of silicon on the top as described in the fitting leaflet as when fitted like this the tap tends to turn.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
