We offer a wide array of bath waste styles, such as pop up bath wastes and exposed wastes, and finishes, such as gold and chrome bath wastes. Whether you need a quick replacement or are completing a larger renovation, these will finish off your bathroom beautifully.
We offer chrome, gold and brushed brass bath wastes alongside other finishes, providing a subtle yet effective way to personalise your bathtub. For a cohesive and tailored look, consider matching your bath waste or pop-up plug to your bath taps.
Bath wastes and overflows are important because they are hard working, functional items that ensure the smooth daily use of your bathtub. However, they also present an opportunity to carry your chosen theme across your bathroom, as small functional pieces can be used as accents.

FAQ's
Our quick guide below covers the key points about bath wastes; sizes, types, installation tips and the best way to seal them.
What is a bath waste?
A bath waste lets water drain safely from your bathtub once you've finished using it. It connects the plug hole to the drainage system, ensuring water flows away efficiently while helping to prevent overflows. Most bath wastes include the plug, overflow and the connecting pipework hidden behind the bath.
There are several styles to suit different looks and needs. Plug and chain wastes are the traditional choice, perfect for classic or period-style baths. Pop-up wastes use a simple turning dial to raise or lower the plug; a practical option that keeps your hands out of hot water. Finally, click clack bath wastes offer a fuss-free design where a quick press opens or closes the plug. Some click clack bath wastes also have a removable plug, making it easier to clear hair and clean beneath it. For more information on the different options available, read our guide to bath wastes.
Are bath wastes a standard size?
Bath wastes commonly use a 1½ inch connection, but the connection size alone won't tell you whether a replacement will fit. The plug hole, overflow position, length of the connecting pipe and space beneath the bath all matter too. If you're keeping your existing trap, check that the new waste will connect to it.
Is it easy to replace a bath waste?
It depends on the bath and how easily you can reach the pipework. A replacement bash waste may fit your existing setup, but the overflow connection and space beneath the bath can make the job more involved. The product details will show what comes with the waste, while its fitting instructions explain how the supplied washers and seals should sit.
Should you use silicone when fitting a bath waste?
Not always. Some bath wastes are designed to seal with the washers supplied, while others may call for silicone sealant in their fitting instructions.
