Hello,
I had 2 belfast sinks to install - 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the utility. They came with fairly standard looking chrome wastes. I installed both in the same manner, and 1 seems to be doing just fine but the other has a very annoying leak! Can anyone help?
I put a good layer of silicone under the flange, before putting through the sink hole. Then underneath the sink I placed the black rubber washer that came with it, then the black plastic nut, which I screwed tight before smearing a layer of silicone around that. Does that sound about right?
I have seen some people suggest a Basin Mate to solve leaks - which sounds great - but I can only find ones like this ( [DLMURL="http://www.diy.com/nav/fix/plumbing/washers-tap-replacements/accessories/PlumbSure-Basin-and-Vanity-Bowl-Sealer-11478125"]PlumbSure Basin & Vanity Bowl Sealer, 0000003892886[/DLMURL] ), which looks too small (32mm) for my kitchen sink waste (maybe they are intended for bathroom sink wastes?).
Any thoughts / advice greatly recieved!
