Removing shower waste plug clamped to shower tray base

[miketurner201]

Hi
The aluminium plastic cover keeps coming off as one of the plastic plugs on the shower base has snapped off. I would like to remove the base which is clamped onto the shower tray.
Please see photo. Does anyone know how I can get it off, I presume it unscrews anti clockwise
but I don't see anything to grip, other than the top which I think will break the plastic pegs.


thanks

I'd try taking them screws out first,

But every shower trap I've ever fitted just screws together by holding the bottom and twisting the whole top part

I would try turning the outer ring to remove it.

It wont twist off, it will be those 2 screws that pull it all together and make the seal, like the wirquin vortex shower wastes

If you havn't got access underneath the tray then be careful as when you take those two screws out theres a good chance the trap part underneath will drop down from its own weight.

Many thanks for the info. I will give it a go.

Hi Thanks for the advice, I've now managed to prise it off with the added bonus of nothing broken! Now off to the shop for a replacement. Thanks
