Got called out to a leaking waste on a walkin bath (wonders how much the old lady was charged!)
I found the leak, being the plumber that I am!...
Seems they didnt have a 32mm to 40mm adaptor.
The old waste watse is a metal 1 1/4" one, onto which the compression fitting was made to.
As well as a low spot under the bath, this was causing the leak!
(I'll keep you in suspense, while I charge the camera!)

Here you go, was dripping between the rubber & the compression fitting (is a short bit of 32mm there)

Well, you can't get a 2nd hand boot gaiter of a Ford Cortina suspension in white so it had to be black
