Shower waste holding water

[dextur]

Hey I have installed a shower trap that after the shower drains there is always a circle of water around the chrome shower waste. Any one had this before?

 

[stardanny]

Yes, only a very small amount of water. Is the chrome waste higher than this shower surface?

Yes it is, the water Looks abit unsightly though.

On the surface on waste fitting where water run over to drain away, is there a washer above shower tray, it might be too thick. If I find any waste fitting that stick out too high because of upper washer, I usually remove upper washer and apply silicone to seal between shower tray and bottom of waste flange.

No I just used silicone no washer on top flange. Is it liable to starting leaking if its holding water?

Nah, you have a bottom washer below tray so it should be fine.

There isn't much you can do, there always be a little bit of water after a shower, it will dried up.
