Bathroom sink overflow causing leak underneath when plug in
Posted: Fri Jul 10, 2015 9:27 pm
Hi all :)
I have an issue with the bathroom sink.
When the tap is running with sink unplugged - no issue.
When the tap is running with the plug in, and therefore the water escapes through the overflow, the very bottom of the sink casting gets wetter and wetter, then forms a rapid drip.
What is causing this to happen please? I'm just wondering if it's time for a new sink or if it's fixable - a blockage somewhere maybe?
You can probably tell I'm not a plumber :)
Thanks.
