I’ve replaced one part but it drips, never while I’m there, it must be a build up of a drip overnight
I’ve tightened it a bit & a bit more
Very frustrating
Any thoughts? A wrap of order? Lsx?
Very annoying
Cheers all

when ever this happens to me i test the overflow, thats often the culprit, when you've gone the woman washes up the overflow gets wet and the drip appears,  |

It’s not the overflow Tom
I can see it when it appears after hours!
It must be so slow that it builds then a drip
Winding me up

Number of plumbers went to this type of job at my place,the Tennant gave me loads of shit even before I walked through the door!cu#t! It appeared to be leaking from trap but on closer inspection the slotted waste had corroded and had little pin holes in it! If it's not that I put PTFE around the plastic part of trap and tighten to slotted waste threads!never lets me down!👍🏼

Annoying You always find they do it more when there is a long run of hot water through the trap where expansion takes place, tru blue will do the trick. |

Annoying It might pay you to watch what she's washing and how, in case it's stressing the plumbing somehow like fill the sink with tatties. |
