Long story short, filled new bath to silicone seal. Didn't touch pop up/click waste and noticed that 90% of the water has drained overnight.

Is this normal or should these wastes block the water indefinitely?

Thanks
 
Yea they don’t seal 100% you can get better than others
 
It could have been going under the flange rather than down the centre of the waste past the plug. Did you use silicone between flange and bath? - some of the foam seals are poor (usually bin them).
But like you say probably not an issue in normal use, so as long as there’s no leak under the bath - just leave it.

Given it a couple weeks use and looks like all fine, no actual leak, obviously not making a perfect seal with click wastes but does the temporary job it's meant to do I guess

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
