Hello Bunnings Workshop members,
I rent an apartment. The bathtub in the bathroom looks to be very old and the drain hole is an odd size as well (58mm in diameter). Ideally, I don't want to bother with changing the drain hole assembly with a more modern fitting, but I really can't seem to find a way to plug the hole so that I can use the bathtub. No matter what I do, the plugs never exactly fit and water seeps away.
I can share more pictures, but here's what it looks like on my end.
All suggestions welcome. Thank you.
Hello @devparam02
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your bath waste.
There was a similar question asked awhile back, I suggest having a quick look at this discussion - Solved: How to remove a bathtub (drain) sink? by @Minitots101. The bath waste is kept in place with a very large nut and is tightly linked to the waste pipe. Removing it from the top is not advisable and will often not work. It would be best to remove the side panel of the bath so that you can access the bottom of the bath to remove the bath waste.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
Eric
