How to fix a loose shower waste?

I am in the process of grouting the floors of my shower. Does this need to be glued?

Re: Loose Shower Waste

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Keish. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about floor wastes.

Typically, a floor waste is grouted into position. In your case, it's either been forcibly pulled out, or the grout hasn't held it well. Did you unscrew it? I'd suggest applying a bead of silicone around the inside edge and pushing/screwing it back into position. That should hold it in place. Once secured, you can grout around its edge to neaten up the joint.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
