Has anyone used the basin mate washer things?
Do they save time?
Cheers all

I've used them when I don't get a seal first time, worked every time for me.

Yes, used lots. Can be a bit tight to get the rubber bung up the waste's thread, bit of silicone lubricant helps. Never had a leak with one so worth the extra couple of quid.

Very handy if you are fitting a new chrome waste in a whb and pedestal that remains fitted in place.
Makes the struggle that little bit less for me it's a 10/10.

Used loads of them and they can be difficult to seat as they are such a tight fit.
Top tip though is to use an empty silicone tube to push the rubber washer onto the waste fitting whilst holding the waste through the basin.
They are very quick and easy, I like them.

Great idea. Will try that. Can be a pain getting the rubber up the waste thread when space is tight.
