I niavely didn't check how a new bathroom pedestal sink was secured to the wall. The old one had two screws in the bottom but this one doesn't.
Is this what I need? What about securing those to the wall through tiles?
 
Sorry I misread you

The fixings you bought,
Measure pitch of basin slots.
Drill 2 hole to suit the rawl plugs.....usually 14mm.

Fit plugs.
Screw in 2 bolts to wall
Then put basin on and fit plastic washers and nuts to threaded rod.

I assume your fixing into a brick wall ?

These rods have a flat spot in the middle to turn into the rawl plug with a spanner.
These fixings are rock solid.

Sit basin on pedestal, offer up to wall, mark slotted holes with marker pen.

Remove and drill holes, fit plugs, spin in the rods, leaving the fine 10mm thread for nuts to fit onto.

You could just stick the basin to the wall with silicone, but if you got to remove for any reason it could get messy.

They worked a dream, sink is solid to the wall.

My current issue a slight seepage from Flexi tails connectors and drain. Maybe I've just not done them tight enough. Tested with paper towel around joints so thinking not just condensation and didnt show up on a test run.
The drain (plug) while it had an assembly diagram didn't show what way the shaped rubber washers should go, so that was trying to use common sense to guess. So that might be that issue.
The Flexi tails, I had to connect nut to nut so bought a coupler to join. Again maybe needs an extra wee turn but I also couldn't get the olives in to work with it, in hindsite I should have fitted isolator valves but was worried about spacing as the copper pipes are already quite high up under the sink.

Think I just need to go back and review drain assembly and tighten things? I appreciate it's hard to diagnose without seeing the sink and problems.
