Sink plug replaced with proper fitting that actually holds water. Universal fit or exact match - whatever your sink needs to work properly again.
### When Your Sink's Basically Useless
Can't **fill your sink to wash up** because the plug's missing, perished, or just won't seal? You've been working around it for months, doing dishes under running water like some kind of medieval peasant.
A new sink plug takes **10 minutes to sort** - seems daft to keep living with the annoyance when it's this easy to fix.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If you've tried cheap plugs from the supermarket and they don't fit properly, you probably need a specific size. I carry universal plugs and various sizes so we can match it properly first time.

### Why It Needs Doing Right

What to Expect
### Step 1: Work Out What's Needed I'll check what size and type of plug you need. Basic rubber plug, chain type, or pop-up waste mechanism. ### Step 2: Clean & Fit Clean any gunk from around the plughole (that's often why plugs don't seal). Fit the right plug and make sure it sits flat. ### Step 3: Test It Works Fill the sink and leave it for a minute. If it holds water without draining, job done. If it leaks, something's not right and I'll sort it.

Good to Know
> 🎯 **While I'm there:** Got other sink issues? Dripping tap, slow drain, loose tap? Mention them when you book and I'll sort them all in one visit. **Pop-up waste broken?** The mechanism under the sink wears out and stops working. I can fit a complete new waste assembly or you can just use a normal plug instead - works fine and never breaks. **Older Exeter properties?** Victorian basins sometimes have non-standard plughole sizes. I carry various sizes so can usually match them, but really old ones might need a universal plug cut to fit.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sink plug replacement in Tiverton
Can't I just buy a plug from Wilko and fit it myself?
Absolutely you can - basic rubber plugs are dead simple. But if you need the right size, or it's one of those pop-up waste plugs, or you've tried three different ones and none fit properly, that's when people call me. I've got a box of different sizes and types so I can usually match it on the spot.
What if my sink has that pop-up plug mechanism?
Those are a bit more involved because there's a linkage under the sink connecting to the pop-up rod. I can fit a new waste assembly if the mechanism's broken, or just replace the plug bit if that's all that's needed.
Do you need to get under the sink?
For a basic plug, no - it just sits in the plughole. For pop-up waste mechanisms or if I'm fitting a complete new waste, then yes, I'll need access to the pipework underneath.
Will it actually hold water or will it leak like the last one?
If it's the right size and sitting properly, it'll hold water fine. Sometimes the issue isn't the plug - it's gunk around the plughole stopping it sealing. I'll clean that while I'm there so you get a proper seal.
My plug's fine but the chain keeps breaking - can you fix that?
Yeah, I can fit a proper metal chain that'll actually last. Those cheap plastic-coated ones break constantly. A decent stainless chain costs pennies and lasts years.
