Push down bathroom sink plug not working
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.22 PM
Hi everyone We have one of those push sink plugs (spring loaded?) where you push the plug down to seal and push to release in the sink. It doesn’t stay down, you push it down and it just pops straight back. Guessing it isn’t sealing properly or getting the vacuum to keep it closed. Unscrewed the top but the bit where the spring is just won’t move. Any ideas?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

There is a retaining clip inside the central bar that holds the top down. Either this has snapped, or more likely the groove that it sits in has corroded away. If your not sure how to fit it call a qualified plumber. Let them know before they arrive what type of waste you want.

Under the plug will be a plastic cartridge that may need cleaning or the rubber grommet . This should clear the fault.
