Replacement plug

[pete1412009]

Hi there,

We have a pop-up waste in our bath, one where you twist to open and close the plug. The plug is badly rusted (please see attached pic) and it is no longer opening and closing properly.

Is it possible to replace the part in the attached picture, or do we have to buy a whole new waste and plug?

Thanks,
Peter

you may have to buy the lot. but you just use the plug.

The problem is identifying the exact one if it's specific to the waste.

Compare the measurements of this one ,

Thank you!

I assume I just measure the diameter across the top of the plug?

if you take it to the local merchants they will advise you, if it is the wrong one then its tere fault and not yours so avould a re stock fee.

Take it to local independent plumbing merchants and ask for replacement it's likely they will have a number of different ones. If its not possible to find a match then the whole waste may need replacing. If your handy it's an easy job, if not get a local plumber in.
