HOW TO CHANGE A BASIN WASTE – Plumbing Tips – Basics

This video covers how to easily change a basin waste. YES we know it moved a bit at the end. Was rectified but not in the video! We cover turning off the water, removing the old basin waste, sealing the new one with putty or silicone and then successfully tightening up the waste and trap to create a water tight seal. We then show you how to install the pipework and how to install the overflow. This method works for the pop up waste although we have done a video just for that.

As you can see today, we’re changing over a little basin waste which has got a slightly flip plug basin waste in here. We’ve actually got about or of these to do. And we actually put up on out Twitter and our Facebook. And we popped out Plumber’s Mate which is a tool that you’re gonna have to use soon. It’s a putty that you can actually use and we popped that in the fridge earlier just to make that cooler because it’s about degrees outside today. It’s pretty warm. That stuff can be an absolute nightmare when it comes to, gets warm. It sticks to your hands and dribbles about. Be like Slimer in Ghostbusters. In a minute I’ll go into why I’m using Plumber’s Mate and not some of the other variations that there are for actually doing this particular type of job. So let’s have a quick look now. We’ve got our little one eye lens camera in there so we can get you right underneath the sink as well.

And you can get really good views to what to do. I hope this video helps you. Remember everybody, to hold tight. And I’ll see thee very soon. First things first, is obviously making sure there’s not water running into here, anything like that. Take it, oh my God, what is? This is the kind of thing you have to deal with when you see this sort of thing, it’s horrible isn’t it? I take this out the hole right there, in a minute we might need to stop this from twisting around and to do that you just sort of stuff a big screwdriver in there like that. And you can hold the screwdriver like so and then don’t have much of a problem with that moving around. If we go underneath, really it’s quick a simple job this is not a very difficult one. First thing we’ve got to do is just undo the two nuts that are holding our trap on. You might have a different sort of spin type of trap on here. Undo that now, obviously we’ve got lovely installed in here we’ve got this nice bit of things.

What we’re going to do is just twist this out. This is where it might bet a big manky this job. Usually you’ve got, yeah, look at that. Isn’t that beautiful? Usually at this point you can see, I’m just gonna get this. Look at that, beautiful, come with me darling. Oh my God, that is manky. So I’m sure you can see how manky it is under there, not nice at all. So anyway now we’ve got all that horrible stuff out. It’s making me really _. The next thing you’ll wanna do is just get your trap and just pour into, if you’ve got a toilet nearby, pour whatever you’ve got out of there. And if you so want to now, get that nice clean, just look at that in that dirty
