Re: Sink Strainer Plugs Not Holding Water 10Sep 05, 2014 9:51 pm Thanks for the tip bluebettie99. I sent hubby down to the big green shed today in search of the replacement seals. He returned with a packet of Kinetic ASSORTED BASKET STRAINER WASHERS. Both sinks now holding water. Cost: $3.57 Hope this helps you Sir Snagger. http://www.bunnings.com.au/kinetic-bask ... s_p4920211 Regards, Grumbles Re: Sink Strainer Plugs Not Holding Water 11Aug 18, 2018 10:47 pm Hi Guys, Not all sink plug/strainers are the sme size. If your sink is pre 2010 then the new plugs/strainers won't work. They will leak. I have an Oliveri sink pre 2010 and had to order plugs especially @ $15.95 each! Re: Sink Strainer Plugs Not Holding Water 12Jul 08, 2019 6:17 pm Hi All You are correct the bunnings kinetic did not work......still leaked even when we used 2 washers as suggested above So we made one out of a toilet cistern washer by cutting out the centre with a 1/4 inch chisel.........the outside diameter of the washer is slightly larger than the origional washer that lasted 14 years.. probably leaked for the last few years......our remedy has been to put vaseline on the rubber..........this did not last long........sent money it is fixed!!!!
