Troubleshooting
Trim does not fit securely
Ensure the overflow pipe outlet is clean and dry. If the fit is loose, consider using a small amount of bathroom-grade silicone sealant around the edge of the trim where it meets the sink or bath.
Trim appears discolored over time
Avoid direct, prolonged exposure to harsh cleaning chemicals. Clean with mild soap and water. If discoloration persists, it may be due to mineral deposits from water, which can sometimes be addressed with a diluted vinegar solution (use with caution on plastic).
Difficulty positioning the trim over the pipe
Gently twist the trim as you push it onto the overflow outlet. Ensure there are no obstructions around the pipe opening.
