Extended Product Information
FAQs
Will this fit a 1.1/4 inch basin?
No, this plug is specifically sized for 1.1/2 inch basins and will be too large for a 1.1/4 inch drain.
Do I need any tools to install this?
No, the push-fit design allows for manual installation by simply pressing the plug into the waste hole.
Is this plug compatible with all brands of basins?
It is designed to fit standard 1.1/2 inch waste outlets, which are the industry standard for most bathroom basins.
How do I remove hard water stains from the plug?
Soak the plug in a mild vinegar solution or use a non-abrasive bathroom cleaner to safely remove limescale.
Is the material resistant to hot water?
Yes, the material is designed to withstand standard household hot water temperatures used for hand washing.
Troubleshooting
Plug does not stay in place
Ensure the drain is free of soap buildup or grime, which can make surfaces slippery and prevent a tight seal.
Water slowly leaks out of the basin
Check the rubber rim of the plug for any debris, hair, or calcium deposits that may be preventing a complete flush seal.
Plug feels loose in the drain
Verify that your basin outlet is actually 1.1/2 inches. If the plug is the correct size but still loose, the basin waste fitting may be worn and require replacement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Easy push-fit installation without tools
- High-quality seal prevents leaks
- Standard size fits most common 1.1/2 inch basins
- Clean, minimalist white appearance

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure the basin drain is clear of debris, then insert the plug into the 1.1/2 inch hole, applying gentle pressure to ensure the gasket seats evenly against the rim. Before purchasing, verify your sink waste size to ensure it is 1.1/2 inches, as this plug will not seal correctly on 1.1/4 inch or custom-sized drains. For care, clean the plug regularly with mild soapy water to prevent soap scum buildup, and avoid using abrasive scouring pads that could scratch the plastic surface and compromise the seal.
