Hi,
I had new bathroom and ensuite suites fitted last August and i've had problems with them ever since that I'm still waiting on the plumber to come out and look at, and I was hoping to get some advice as to whether it's something wrong or whether I'm seeing something that isn't there.
Anyway, the suites where replaced like for like (as far as positioning goes), so nothing has moved and no pipes moved as such.
The ensuite backs onto the main bathroom with the waste running in the following order:
1. Ensuite sink connects to shower and goes through wall to main bathroom, which then connects to the bath and sink, then to soil stack.
The problems I have are as follows:
1. When the bath drains, it's very slow. It has a pop-up plug, which I can remove, which in effect leaves a big whole and it's still slow. I'm not a plumber, so forgive my none technical terms here, but the old bath, when the plug was pulled out, i'd get a whirlpool above the plug and it would just go, like it was being sucked out. With this new one, I don't get that, it just stays level, with the odd attempt at the whirlpool and it just drains at it's own pace.
2. When the sink or bath is emptied in the main bathroom completely, I can here glugging and dripping echoing through the waste pipe in the ensuite shower. I never had any of this type of noise with the old system.
I'm in the process of taking action to get the plumber back, but would appreciate some opinions on this so I don' t have the wool pulled over my eyes.
