Hi, I can see this subject has been discussed a few times already but none of the suggestions work for me.
I have a popup bath plug, the type where you have the round controller on the side of the bath that pulls on a wire to lift/lower the plug.
If we run a bath, if left the water will drain out in less than 30mins. It has done this from day one so it isnt wear and tear.
I have adjusted the screw and no matter what level I set it to, the plug still leaks. I have checked the seal and it is sitting perfectly level, I even went to B&Q and bought a replacement but that is exactly the same. It looks like the plug is held down by gravity alone, and then water pressure when you fill the bath?
The plummer that fitted it says this is normal with these types of plugs and he cannot think of anything that will fix it. I suspect this is BS so I am reaching out to you guys to see if you can offer more constructive help on this.
regards
