Hi, I'm just fitting in our new basin and the water is escaping with the plug closed, i think the waste does not fit properly as it has been tightened but there is always one point where my nails fit under it quite easily, is this normal for it to not sit perfectly?
I think the nut on the bottom of the sink is ok as this water ran down the inside of the waste pipes so it didn't leak all over the floor.
Does it need any extra sealant, my brother seemed to think that maybe the rubber sealant that was supplied with the waste was not good enough, earlier when i was buying bits in B & Q the guy said it should be water tight by just tightening the waste and i shouldn't need to silcone it in.
Many thanks
P.S everything i try to fix never seems to go right first time is this normal or just my bad luck, my bathroom has taken me about 6 mths to install!!!
