Went to a 'quick' job on Thursday about 4:30pm for a click clack waste that needed a new stopper bit according to customer, should of been in there 5 minutes tops.
Once there discovers the waste had snapped in the middle and needed replacing.
The ped was the kind where the pipes come up through a hole in the bottom, so the bloody basin needed to be removed from the wall to access the waste.
Luckily it was on a fischer kit and not glued up was still a pain at that time though.
Fitted the new waste, plumbers mait at the top, silicone at the bottom, refitted sink and connected feeds and waste back up, tested it and it was pishing out where the pot meets the backnut on the waste. Looked like I'd over compressed the sealing ring under there and it had squished out.
Was about 5:45 by now so told them I'd be back Saturday afternoon.
Thought I'd try a basin mate (they're £1.17 at foolstation).
I was properly impressed, not used one before but at that price I'll probably use them on every basin I fit from now on.
They look massive at first, but once fitted they don't take up nearly as much room as you'd think.
I can highly recommend them.
