Bath Waste

A bath waste includes the waste outlet, plug mechanism, and overflow parts that stop water spilling over the rim. If the waste is worn or incorrectly matched, you can end up with slow drainage, drips under the bath, or an overflow that doesn’t seal properly. Choosing the right style also affects day-to-day use—some people prefer a simple plug and chain, while others want a push-button waste for a cleaner look.

Main benefits and common use cases

• Provides reliable drainage and helps prevent leaks under the bath.
• Overflow protection reduces the risk of water spilling onto floors.
• Easy upgrade when old fittings corrode, discolour, or stop sealing properly.
• Helps match finishes with taps, accessories, and Back to Wall Toilet Cabinets for a joined-up look.
