Default How to remove/refit bath overflow?

I need to either replace or reseat the overflow on my bath, as it's
moving slightly and is no longer watertight. Access to the
back/underneath of the bath is no problem. Does anyone here have an
idea whether these are generally a push fit or screwed together or what?

They're generally screwed together. You may find that the whole
overflow on the inside of the bath turns.

Normally the screw is on the front (i.e. inside the bath) of the
overflow, which tightens the rear

Indeed, this turned out to be the case. Couldn't have been easier.
Much obliged.
