I am trying to get the old plughole out of a plastic bath, I have bought the replacement bits and the guy in the shop said that the old plughole should just push out from underneath. Well guess what, it doesn't! Is it just a tight fit having been there about 15 years of more? I don't want to damage the bath, obviously, would tapping it with a hammer from below help?
If or when I get it out do i need to use a sealant between the bath and the plughole and/or around the washer between the plughole and the plastic drain below it?
3. Chrome grid should come out by pushing from underneath. If stuck, try tapping gently. If still stuck it may have been siliconed in. Use a sharp knife around the edges, being careful not to cut into the bath. Pry up and cut silicone carefully a bit at a time.

5. If new unit comes with a foam type washer, you could use this between the chrome and the top of the bath. Personally, I throw them away and use a sausage of Plumber's Mait to form the seal.
6. New unit should have a black rubber washer. This goes on the threaded shank under the bath, followed by the securing nut.
7. Assemble as above, and tighten. If you use Plumber's Mait, tighten, clear any extruded Mait, tighten a bit more and repeat. Clear most of the Mait away with a sharp knife. Any residue can be removed with white spirit.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated, the chrome grid had already become detached from the pipes below, however, all now installed and sealed using silicone which had been left over from a previous job. Does the silicone need to cure before testing with water and if so for how long?
Lets be honest, do I even wait half an hour ... hmmm ...... nah, usually just the time it takes to tighten the trap up
Thanks for that, the tube of silicone doesn't state how long to leave it but 24 hours seemed safe. I cut a plastic milk container in half and placed one half under the u- bend. Then I had a shower and checked and it was dry. Job done, I hope!

We've had a Tupperware box under our bath trap for 13 years, always good to see it nice and dry whenever I take the panel off!.

To replace a sink stopper, first, follow the vertical bar of the stopper beneath your sink.
