Thank you for your question.

Is the underside of your basin waste accessible?

In most cases, this waste will be screwed onto the pipe underneath. If it is accessible, it may be as simple as unscrewing the waste from the pipe. The plumber will likely have put a bead of silicone underneath the chrome plate on the waste so it might take some levering to remove.

Let me know if this helps or not, I am happy to assist further if required.
