Plug Material - Have I damaged it?

[RPB123]

Hi All,

I was cleaning a plug today and thought there was something stuck at the top of the waste pipe under the plug.

I prodded it with a toothpick and pierced it. I also tried to pull it away from the waste pipe

After doing so I realised that it might be the silicon securing the plug.

Based on the picture below:

1) Is this plug silicon?
2) Should be worried that I pierced it and pulled it?

Thanks

Open the tap, it there a leak?

YES, you've broken it.
NO, all is OK.

Looks like some silicone that's squeezed out when the waste was fitted, shouldn't be an issue.

I don't think we will hear from them again, only 17 posts in 8 years.

Thanks for the replies. No leakage evident
