Product Information

For some contemporary style baths the overflow pipe goes between the inner and outer 'skins' of the bath and so cannot be seen in any installation, in these cases use a concealed waste kit. Otherwise, for a double ended bath (one where the overflow is in the middle, lengthwise, rather than at one end) if the bath is against a wall and in an alcove so that it is not possible to get around either end of the bath and see down between the bath and the wall to where the overflow pipe is then you can probably use a concealed waste kit, otherwise you should use an exposed one. A bath is an investment and not the kind of change you make often. You will spend a significant amount of time in or looking at your bath as you go about your daily routine, and so it is important to consider any changes or updates to this area carefully.

This should easily come away with a little elbow grease. The most popular bath waste is the pop up. To close the plug simply turn the overflow, and repeat the process to open and drain your bath. This is particularly good as your hands stay dry. Bath Plug and Waste Top tip: Make sure your replacement bath waste fittings closely match your existing ones.
