Bath Pop Up Plug 69mm | Chrome click clack bath plug | bath waste sprung plug

It is a stopper with a sprung bolt inside. You press the cover down once to close the waste and press it again to release it, so there is no chain and no lever to operate. The name comes from the sound the spring makes as it latches and unlatches.

It is made for a standard 43mm bath drain hole, with a 69mm cover sitting over the top. Measure the hole in your bath before ordering, because bath wastes do vary between brands and ages. If your hole is noticeably smaller or larger than 43mm, this is not the right part.

Take the old plug out and measure straight across the opening in the bath at its widest point, ignoring the chrome flange sitting on the surface. That internal measurement is what should be close to 43mm. A tape measure or a steel rule both work fine.

The cover is deliberately wider so it rests on the waste seat and the surrounding flange rather than dropping through. That overlap is what lets the rubber seal press down and hold water. So the two numbers describe different parts of the same plug.

The maker gives the material as brass and rubber, with a chrome plated alloy cover. The brass is used for the sprung bolt that does the mechanical work, and the rubber forms the seal rings. The maker does not state other material detail.

In most cases no. It screws into the existing bath waste by hand, so there is no cutting, no sealant and nothing to do underneath the bath. If your waste itself is damaged or leaking at the pipe, that is a separate job and may need a trade.

Usually a couple of minutes. Remove the old stopper, wipe the seat clean so nothing sits between the seal and the metal, then thread the new plug in until it feels snug. Test it by filling the bath a little and watching the water line.

Generally not. The plug is designed to be screwed in by hand, and the bolt set is slotted so it can be separated for cleaning. A cloth to clean the waste seat first is the only thing most people reach for.

That depends on where the water is going. If the leak is past the plug seal, a fresh seal ring like this usually fixes it. If water is escaping at the overflow or at the waste connection under the bath, replacing the plug will not help.

It suits older baths well because it works with an existing 43mm waste rather than asking you to change the whole fitting. The brass bolt and rubber seals are the parts that normally wear out on a bath, and this replaces both in one piece. Just confirm the hole size first.

It is described as a bath and basin plug for a standard 43mm hole, so it would only suit a shower tray with that same waste size and a flat seat. Many shower wastes are wider and shallower. Measure before you decide.

The maker describes it as a basin sink plug as well as a bath plug, again for a standard 43mm hole. Basins often use the same waste size, so it can work, but the 69mm cover is on the large side for a small basin. Check both the hole and the surrounding flat area.

The brass core holds a spring that latches in two positions. Pressing down compresses the spring until it catches, which pulls the seal tight against the seat. Pressing again releases that catch and the spring pushes the cover up so water can drain.

The core is solid brass and is made to rebound firmly under the weight of a full bath. Water pressure actually helps here, since it pushes down on the cover and keeps the seal compressed. A deep bath is the normal working condition for this type of plug.

The visible cover has a bright silver chrome finish from the chrome plating on the alloy. The maker does not state alternative colour. It is intended to sit alongside standard chrome taps and wastes.

Chrome plating holds up well in a bathroom if you wipe it dry now and then and avoid harsh cleaners. Hard water is the usual cause of dull patches, and those normally come off with a soft cloth and warm water. Abrasive pads and bleach are what shorten the life of a plated finish.

Rinse the plug under warm water after a bath, then wipe the cover with a soft damp cloth. Every few weeks unscrew the bolt set and clear out the hair and soap residue in the slots. Dry the chrome afterwards to keep water marks down.

Yes. The slotted plug bolt set is detachable from the cover, which is the main reason this style is easier to keep clean than a fixed stopper. Take the parts apart over a towel so nothing small disappears down the waste.

No. One plug with its click clack bolt is supplied, and nothing else is listed in the pack. If hair is a regular problem, a separate removable hair catcher sitting on top is the usual answer, used only while showering.

One bath pop up plug with the click clack bolt. The pack quantity is listed as a single item. No tools, washers or spare seals are mentioned in the maker's details.

The item weight is listed as 0.09kg. That is light enough to post easily but heavy enough that you can feel the brass core rather than a hollow plastic body. Weight is one quick way to tell a metal core plug from a cheap imitation.

Brass does not rust, and the chrome plating protects the alloy cover. The usual issue in a bathroom is limescale build up rather than corrosion. Regular rinsing and drying keeps that under control.

It is a practical one rather than a pretty one, and it does land well with anyone who has just moved into an older place or who keeps complaining about a bath that empties itself. Pair it with a hair catcher or a set of basin plugs for something a bit more complete. It also posts easily.

Yes, as long as the drain hole is the standard 43mm size and the seat around it is flat and clean. Freestanding baths use the same waste fittings as built in ones in most cases. The usual check is whether the chrome flange around the hole gives the 69mm cover somewhere to sit.

You can, but the chain becomes redundant since this plug stays in place and is operated by pressing. Most people leave the chain stay in the bath or remove it. The plug itself does not have a chain fixing point.

Rubber hardens with time, heat and soap. A seal that looks intact can still have lost the softness it needs to deform against the metal seat, which is where the slow drip starts. Replacing the whole plug is normally quicker than hunting for a matching seal ring.

It does not affect the overflow at all. The overflow is a separate opening higher up the bath and continues to work as normal. This plug only seals the drain hole in the base.

The maker does not state lifespan. In practice the brass bolt tends to outlast the rubber seals, and seal life depends on water temperature, cleaning products and how often the bath is used. Keeping it clean and avoiding harsh chemicals is the main thing you can control.

Most orders arrive within 7 to 12 working days of the order date. Our products are sent from overseas warehouses, so allow for that if you need it by a set date. Change of mind returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery for unused items, and a faulty or damaged item is put right at our cost.

The most common reason is a drain hole that is not the standard 43mm size, which you can check in a minute with a rule. If it does not fit or does not seal, contact us with your measurements and we will sort out a return or point you to a size that does suit. Please keep the plug clean and unmarked while you are checking.
