Bath plug worn out or not sealing? New one fitted in minutes - right size, holds water properly, looks smart. Chain sorted too if needed.
### Stop Wasting Water
Your bath **slowly drains** even with the plug in. What should be a nice relaxing soak turns into constant topping up with hot water because the level keeps dropping.
Or the plug rubber is **perished and grotty** - works-ish but looks terrible and you know it's on its last legs.
**New plug fitted in ten minutes.** Seals properly, looks clean, job sorted.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If water's draining slowly, sometimes it's not the plug - it's muck in the overflow. But usually it's a knackered plug seal.

Good to Know
**Pop-up waste?** Some modern baths have pop-up mechanisms instead of plug and chain. If that's broken, it's more involved than a simple plug swap - I'll assess and advise. **Unusual size bath?** Old baths sometimes have non-standard plug sizes. If I don't have the right size, I'll measure and source it, then come back to fit. **While I'm there...** Dripping tap? Shower head needs replacing? Toilet cistern playing up? Lump the bathroom jobs together - much more efficient. **Overflow blocked?** If your bath drains slowly even with plug out, overflow might be partially blocked. I can check while I'm sorting the plug.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bath plug replacement in Honiton
Why won't my bath plug hold water?
Usually the rubber seal has perished - they degrade over time from constant hot water and products. Sometimes it's just muck around the seal, but often it needs replacing. Cheap fix.
Can you match my existing plug?
I'll bring a selection of standard sizes in chrome. If you've got an unusual size or want brass/other finish, best to buy the specific one you want and I'll fit it.
Do I need a new chain too?
Not necessarily - if your chain is fine, I can attach the new plug to it. But if chain's rusty or wrong length, worth replacing both together while I'm there.
What if I have a pop-up waste instead?
That's a different mechanism - more involved than a simple plug. I can assess and fix it, but it's not a quick 10-minute job. I'll let you know what's needed.
How long does a new plug last?
Decent quality plug should give you several years. The rubber seal is the weak point - hot water and chemicals gradually degrade it. When it stops sealing, time for another one.
