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

Hi, the water in my bathtub has been draining really slowly recently. I investigated it today and there was a large build up of gunk right under the plug hole, quite thick. I jabbed it hard with a stick and it completely dislodged and got sent down the pipes. I tried the taps again and the...

Hello, my HW is taking longer than expected to heat up and it's getting worse. I can go 10-40 degs after 1.5 hours of only heating HW, whereas I should be going 10-60 degs in 30-40 mins by my maths. Don't even mention trying to heat HW and CH at the same time. 30 mins with the immersion adds...
