Hello
I've just had a new bathroom fitted and we have a problem with the bottle trap in the basin which is leaking from one of the joints, and also seemingly from the thread between the bottle trap and the click clack waste. The plumber has been back to look at it, the first thing he did was replace one of the washers on the waste, but there is still a drip after the sink empties, though it's not as bad as before.
He came back again to have a look, and now is saying that there's no leak - annoyingly when he was there we repeatedly ran the tap and it didn't leak - and he claims the dripping is condensation. It definitely is leaking as i've seen it happen a few times when the tap is running, and there is a small puddle on the floor nearly every time the sink is used - and either way it's not good for a brand new bathroom.
I'm losing patience with this, the job took a long time, and was frankly not great, I'm now so fed up with it i'm willing to get someone else in but will i have to get a new trap? I feel that it may not have been installed correctly, and thus if someone else does it will they need a new one? What would the cost for the work be if it did need replacing? It cost me nearly £100 and i just can't believe this is usual for a product of this quality and cost.
