Just had a new tub installed and tile surround by a “contractor”. The tub drain is leaking (cut back ceiling and examined after water on ceiling...water is coming from the drain). Unscrewed drain with tool...no Teflon tape or plumbers putty. Minimal amount of white caulking. The gasket seal sticks out more on one side but I’m not sure if this is a problem. May attempt to seat drain again with Teflon and plumbers putty? Please help. I am not calling this guy back because after numerous issues (wanted to skip mortar bed for tub...I insisted per directions, wanted to use mastic on my surround walls for tile...I had to insist on thin set...mastic is unapproved for use over red guard, you get the idea). I had paid him half up front (mistake I now know) so I felt kind of stuck. Anyway these things made me look for his license he claimed he had...he doesn’t. This was my first remodel project and I learned from this to check the license and insurance first. So no flogging please...lol...thank you
