hi,as you say a pain in the &%$£ but the warranty should cover it if its a 2005.with the down time it would depend on how busy they were.[:o)]

Seems to be a common problem and should be done under warranty, obviously not well enough supported under the shower tray, they just don't build them like they used to!

Hi all we had the same problem on our vanity sink the dealer ordered one but as it was going to take approx 6 -8 weeks i sealed it up with silicon it worked a treat when i replaced it about 3/4 months later the waste fell through where i sat one of those air fresheners/damp collecters that are always for sale in caravan shops. it appeared that when the thing overflowed a chemical reaction acured and melted the basin so beware!!!!!
