My bathroom basin has started to leak from the slip nut, after some advice really:
Complete trap assembly i've took off basin
slip nut that is leaking:
Waste pipe and chrome basin pipe:
The problem seems to be where the chrome basin pipe connects to the slip nut on the trap. I've tried max tightening, not tightening too much and even untightening completely and trying to realign the thread better. All results still cause leaks from where the slip nut meets the chrome basin pipe however.
Is the issue due to the trap being plastic and and the pipe being chrome or is it just a faulty slip nut? I plan on going to B&Q tonight to buy a whole new trap assembly but thought the chrome to plastic thing might be an issue and/or if anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this. I don't want to buy a whole new assembly you see to have the same issue. Washer on the slip nut looks fine by the way however i can't remove this part to have a better look.
Any advice appreciated
