I do not know anything about plumbing, so I didn’t know how to fix a bathroom 💦 leak. couldn’t ask my husband because I don’t have one😂😂. But I’m a big fan of diy, if I can do it I will before I call on a professional. This video from that fix it guy and the communication and a few pics and videos I shared with him, I have no more leak issues. It’s just the littlest things that makes one happy. 😂👍 He is awesome

I don't know much about sinks, the leak was from a big rubber washer underneath the sink. Just removed the plug bar thing and gave it a full 360 degree tightening. It's fixed in under 5 minutes. Whilst I was down there I took off the a long bowl thing from the trap. It stinks but it's empty? Just full of water, not messing about with anything else. Let them live with the smell.

I am a woman who is separated from my jack of all trades husband for 3 years now. My sink has been leaking and I had to replace the entire assembly kit… didn’t know I could even possibly do anything like that. You made it look simple and guess what it was. I did it all by myself even cut my own pipe with a hack saw to fit. I’m so grateful for you and your video, you have given a helpless damsel like me hope in doing it myself… I would kiss you if you were here😂 thank you so much😘💕💕💕

I'm going to have to try this out next time I put one in. I've done dozens using plumbers putty and generally they've worked out well however I've run into a few sinks where the bottom of the drain hole wasn't as flat as it should be and have had them leak around the threaded area. I never considered putting Teflon tape on the threads or substituting silicone caulk in place of plumbers putty but I can see some real advantages to doing both. Thanks for the heads up

@davidg8032 Год назад

There is absolutely no reason to put Teflon tape or pipe dope on the top threaded fitting. Even the silicone around the drain cover does nothing to keep the sink from leaking. If the connection were to leak like a sieve at either place, where would the water go? It would simply go into the drain through the weep holes. And with the bottom nut, you need to make sure you get the silicone into the threads between the rubber gasket and the drain stem. Just getting it on the rubber gasket where it contacts the sink will not keep it from leaking. Thanks for taking the time to post this.

@ryanrogers8211 Год назад

@MyContestPix 2 года назад

You're only channel that mentioned putting silicone on the metal rim and the rubber gasket. Glad you used Silicone and not Plumber's putty which I've heard interacts with the plastic. I figured this out myself because it was leaking from under the sink. Don't know why no one else mentioned this because it will leak from underside the sink no matter how tight you turn the screw. But it still leaks from the rod connection. Not sure how to fix this yet...

@StephanieCees 2 года назад

Hi there. Thanks for the video. My Kholer plastic pop up doesn't have threads the entire section below the plug - it's smooth plastic where the overflow drain holes are. Also, the rubber flange thing at the bottom needs to sit ABOVE the nut threads to sit tight to the sink. In that case would silicone alone be enough on bottom side of the rubber gasket (upper side of sink under plug) and the top side of the under sink rubber flange (above the nut)? If that makes sense. Thanks!

Yes just silicone would work great.
