Decide what kind of function you would like. Basin plug & wastes are available as pop-up, pop-down or a basic waste with a rubber or plastic plug.
Pop-down wastes offer the best functionality. They are open in the level position and you push down to seal them. This means they are aesthetically less intrusive and prevent small items (like jewelry) from slipping down into the trap. The mechanism is fully removable so offers easy maintenance and cleaning. The downside is that they are only available in limited finishes and are more expensive (though the benefits are worth it) than the pop-up wastes or basic wastes.
Pop-up wastes are the most common, available in an abundant array of styles, colours, materials and price points. They can be difficult to keep clean as the trap-way and pop-up mechanism can collect hair and grime. Fully removable baskets are available and these are recommended for ease of maintenance and cleaning (check our filter under functions for fully removable baskets).
Basic wastes are the most economical solution however colour choices are very limited and often the plug provided does not offer a great seal.
Use our functions filter to selection which function you would like.
