    Bathroom washbasin installation

    Hi, The basin & pedestal I bought recently has got me scratching my head, as it doesn’t seem to have an obvious method of joining them together securely.

    Gurgling bathroom sink

    Hi guys. I have an issue with a bathroom sink, it gurgles when the tap is turned off. I tried clearing the p trap but it makes it worse and goes on longer. I’ve attached a pic. From what I’ve read online it’s a venting issue. Would either of the replacement parts be a good solution?
