How to renew a sink waste, the chrome part through the sink.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The chrome waste and overflow part that fits into the sink can be a tricky one, but here is how to renew it. It is also nice if you just want to change your old tarnished one for a new chrome one. For parts like this visit my Amazon shop here on this link. www.amazon.co.uk/shop/dereton33

Followed this vid and turns out just cleaning the silicone and waste and putting it back did the job, saved a plumber call-out! Brilliant, thank you.

Another great video thanks. I'm tightening an existing sink. The "washer" between waste outlet and top of the stainless steel sink is very flimsy and worn. In its original state was probably not much thicker than some tape. I've been told a bed of silicone will do the job. Is that ok?

Hi! Thanks so much for the video! In the video you turned the connector clockwise to loosen it, is this the norm for these types of fittings? I’m struggling to undo mine as I assumed it would be anti-clockwise and now I’m worried I’ve tightened it instead 😬

Hi Al, any tips for removing silicon from a metal sink...I made a bit of a mess when replacing the sink. I got it all over my hands and then all over the new sink. Job done but sink is covered in a silicon film. Also, my sink waste has a white flimsy upper washer like the one you removed. Ive installed it but do you think this type does the job OK? Thanks. Keep the videos coming.

There is a silicon remover which will get rid of any leftover stuff. I still prefer to use plumbers mait instead of washers. Still try the washer, if it does not leak then leave well alone.
Great video. Can I put a bead of plumbers gold before putting the washer and silver cap into the sink? Thank you.

We're putting a new sink in today. Our waste has just one big washer, so should I use silicone as another washer?

No just plumbers mait.
I just ripped mine out while my mother was out shopping ( a huge rush so she wouldn't know what I was doing ). I unscrewed the bolt. My intention was just to measure the opening in the sink (thinking of putting an Insinkerator). When I tried to put everything back together I realised there was no brass thread (as seen in 2:47). After a few moments I thought it might have fallen down the U bend. I took that apart but nope. In the end I legged it to the hardware store and bought a new waste part. I am totally mystified. Where on earth could my brass nut have gone. Is it possible ours was glued in place?

Sometimes a 10p piece will do the trick, if it’s not too rusted. I usually keep a chisel handy, as the blade is wide enough. Careful you don’t slip with it though.

Extend the waste with a coupling if short or cut back the waste pipe if it is too long.

If you dont have a rubber seal and need to use something to seal the waste I'd reccomend plumbers mait. Dont have to wait for it to go off as it never goes solid, its waterproof and you just remove the excess when you tighten the waste. Great product if you dont have a rubber seal. Hope this helps!

When cleaning the old gasket meterial off be very careful around the hole in the sink ,these are razor sharp and most come with stickers on when new telling you to be careful. Ironicly i've cut myself more when taking the damn stickers off that warn you of it.
