Bath overflow leaking (tiled in)

[scouseinglasgow]

LOOSE OVERFLOW ONBATH THAT HAS BEEN FULLY TILED IN. My lad bought a wee house and when I was cleaning the bath I discovered the overflow was loose.

The bath is fully tiled in and the overflow is on the back wall with the overflow in the middle, so even if we removed the tiled side panel we still could get to the over flow.

Im hoping one of you guys or gals has a remedy for the problem as it would be much appreciated Thank You In Advance Scouseinglasgow

That should tighten up from the Chrome grille being turned gently clockwise.

+1, and pull it gently towards you as you tighten, that'll get the back to grip against the bath and stop it turning.

Thanks Terry Not knowing anything about them in terms of how to when you cannot get at them made me reluclant to touch it.
Am I right in saying that the chrome grill will have to be turned clockwise.
