Bath waste/plug issue?

[macka09]

Hi all

Do any of you guys use a silicone to seal between the bath and waste rubber underneath?

The bath is only a cheap one and the bottom of the waste opening isn’t flat, which seems to leave an opening enabling water to leak out.

I used silicone in the past for this very problem but I was curious as to whether there’s a better alternative?

Cheers folks

Depends I normally give it a skim of silicon or get the grinder out with a sander

Thanks for the reply. No chance of getting a grinder in without removing most of the pipe work. It looks like spaghetti junction under this bath.

Plumbers mate will do the job better. it's a non setting putty designed for this type of job.
