Does this bathtub drain look correct to you?

[og2020]

I had a new bathtub drain fitted and this is how it looks. is the plumbing maite used correctly? ive never seen it on the outside of a drain before. But I'm not a plumber so just asking for advice

Err no mate that is a bodge job terrible

 

[Chalked]

Not the easiest of drains to seal. But has a professional plumber done this? It's terrible!

I seldom do bathrooms but even I could do far better. its a rough job that is

 

[woodsy]

Yep rough having left it like that. Enflow wastes like that can be a pig to seal but no excuse - standard bath waste £3-4

 

[moonlight]

Very messy

Ah the dreaded banjo waste. Chuck it in the bin. No idea why they bother making those.

Very messy. They can be a pain to seal. But normally if you can keep you cool and percivere they do eventually.

Have you got a picture of the plug section?

That's true not long ago I had one of those, I used silicone instead of plumbers mate ... first time I used plumbers mate instead of the paper seal inside the bathtub. But somehow it didn't want to seal so I had to go back there free of charge next day. Never again !

not seen that type of waste for years i didnt think they still made them.

They are horrible wastes to be fair those ones, from Screwfix I believe (If I'm correct I'm rather sad and have been working as a plumber for too long!)? When we fit them (which we try not to, would much rather fit a decent Bristan one) they need silicon on the in 4 separate places to guarantee a leak free seal. Every washer gets a wee smear of the stuff.

it might be a horrible looking job but does it leak ?
if not, chuck the bath panel on and stop admiring it

 

[Harvest Fields]

Jay the plumber, I would feel well guilty leaving it like that

fortunately, neither did I

Easy done mate especially at the moment with a lot of old tat resurfacing.
