Hi I know the shower waste is missing parts, certainlya top cover but can anybody help me identify the waste i have fitted. my landlord tells me this is fine and doesnt need anything done to it. ive bought 2 traps from screwfix they are too big. thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hi I am just trying to replace whats needed as I wouldnt be confident in removing the whole thing, but without knowing what make it is i guess its hard. So there is definetly something missing from it then?
The pop in section (dip tube cover) is what creates the water seal as it dips into the water in that cup. It stops smells from coming back up from the drains.
That's why some landlords should stick to being landlords.
Without knowing the make it may be difficult to find a replacement dip tube cover that fits properly.
Still it's really for the landlord to fix, tell him you are getting smells into the shower and need the trap fixed.
Thank you both for your advice. Its kind of what I was thinking. I've looked at many dip tubes online but they all have a diameter of over 40mm and I need 1 just under 40mm. I have resubmitted my request to my landlord for repair again. If I push a sponge into the hole then I do not get the egg kind of smell in my bathroom so it is clearly this that is causing the problem.
