Mine was a replacement one I purchased online, in fact purchased 3 different sizes.could not figure out how to use till I saw your video.Thank u

Thanks a lot Rob! Thought I would have to get at the wretched thing from underneath. Saved by KZread once again!

This was really really helpful. I was told i had to take the whole thing. Meaning the plug and unscrew the whole system thing. Didnt realise you could just twist this spring and get it out in 5 seconds. Ive put thejob off for about a month because i thought it was going to be big. I had the opposite problem though. The plug wouldnt stay down. So just replaced that click clack (Or what ever you call it.) Plug and play 👍

My wife had a face on her that could crack granite about the stuck plunge plug in our bathroom. The kids continued to use it and left the water for her to 'deal' with. I got it in the neck because I'm a white male who obviously knows how to fix everything in this world. Your video saved a MAJOR issue in my marriage. Of course, some chocolate(over 400g bar) and 'oh, you are right dear' settled her down. I may even get a special kiss and a dinner when I get home! THANK YOU for explaining how to make my wife happy.

I'm an 80 year old no men left in her life that put a smile on my own face when I followed how to fix the bath plug. Thank you

Had this issue and its fixed now. Wish i saw this video earlier. Because now I need help with opposite issue cause the spring won't lock in place anymore at all.

Thanks for your tips 👏👏

Thanks for the video. I've got a house full of jammed pop ups! 4 at my last count. Problem is, the pistons (splines?) won't release from the waste. Any suggestions on that? Also, we're in a hard water area. When you refer to "the plastic ones" do you mean the pistons or the whole waste? I'm happy to replace the waste if needed but want to do it with something worthwhile.

Thanks so much! My waste was getting stuck in and almost impossible to pop up again - was considering having to ask the plumber as I had no idea how to remove it, but thanks to your video I have now done so and I have the parts of it currently soaking in Viakal.

@@lesterbathrooms3948 thanks! It's much better now, still a little stiff as it's a metal one so probably needs replacing ultimately.

Helpful thank you. If I have to replace it with a plastic one, what is it called to ask for it?!

Excellent!! Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄

I have done all you showed in the past, installed mine in 2017, but it has now broken off completely!! Just rotted off, could not believe it! It was a metal one. So I suppose only option is to get a completely new whole waste and plug?

Hi Rob - I've a Duravit ceramic pop up which keeps sticking. Only 18 months old. The mechanism is plastic. Can I still use WD40 on plastic or is that a no no?? Thanks

excellent video, just one thing that worked for me: I couldn't unscrew it as is shown in this video, so i just took WD40, started spraying that MF and after a while i managed to pull the plunger out with pliers. Then just sprayed it some more, pushed it in and out a few times and in

This works for bathtub as well. Thanks.

Hi Rob, hope you can help. My girlfriend's bath pop up plug, goes up and down nicely but, she is losing all her bath water, she can hear it trickling away. As each day passes she has to bath in less time as the speed with which it runs out is increasing.

2:53 "It's my favorite tea mug" 🤣

Hi it's me again the top of my waste pulls off and the springy part of it is plastic held in place by a plastic nut I'm loath ? to unscrew it as I'm afraid the springy part will fall down the waste never to be seen again could you kindly tell me how to get the springy part out and WD 40 it .Thanks Cheers Eddie

Hi, what are the plastic ones?

Superb, Q. if I wanted to replace mine for plastic are they all the same sizes ? what would you advise.

They are better. Just get a basin 1”1/4 or 32mm one and it should be fine.

Hi, great video. Do you have any suggestions for releasing the threaded post? We have one sink where it has seized up and won’t turn or come out with pliers/spanner. Thanks.

Where do you find plastic versions of the push button for the drain plug as everywhere i could only see brass ones

Hi there, I have a push pop drain similar to that one, except mine is a fixed circular outer part, and the push pop is in the middle. However, I've pushed it down, but now it's not coming back up, it's stuck. I can't turn it left or right but I cannot access it, its actually in the 'push' position, so I can't rotate it. Is there any advice you can give to fix it and get it to pop up 🙂

@lesterbathrooms3948

Hi, that’s a tricky one to get out. The only thing you may be able to do is disconnect the waste trap from the basin waste underneath (put a small bowl underneath to catch any water) once disconnected you could push something up from underneath (maybe a screwdriver) to spring it upwards. Please take care if you try this, it may not work and you might just need a new basin waste.

Mines snapped so how do I get a new one

I have even worst version of this, where the push part goes a bit below the sink level. So when it gets stuck there, there is no way to unscrew it anymore as you can't grab the sides. Currently trying to come up with some idea to resolve this. Devil himself has made this design. :/

Mine won’t stay down. What do I do to fix that?

ours is not that case,it treally went down a bit you can not even turn as it was pushed 1mm down..

Cioè, con lo spazzolino da denti che usa normalmente, ha pulito la valvola e il tappo del lavabo? 😮 Davvero rimango basita per la totale mancanza della consapevolezza dell'igiene di molti paesi che, tra l'altro, non sono del terzo mondo.

This happened to us, we used a plunger to pop it up.
