Hello everyone.

A quick question. 

How to remove Strainer Body / Basin Waste from Bathroom Sink without damaging the sink itself?

It looks like being glued using plumber putty. 

Below is the picture.

Thank you for your suggestion.

Regards.

Hi @daniel4,

Thank you for your question about removing your sink strainer.

The plumber's putty will have some holding power, but it is not likely to be the reason it can't be removed.

Have you got access to the underside of the sink?

There is often a coupling on the underside of the sink that can be rotated off to allow the strainer to be removed.

If this is not the case, is the central piece of the strainer a nut that can be removed? 

Some more photos might help to shed some light.

Allow me to tag some of our helpful members to see if they have any ideas, @Dave-1, @Noyade, @Nailbag.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
