Product Information
Full details
The Balterley Chrome Basin Plug and Chain is an essential bathroom utility designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a reliable, classic solution for basin drainage. It provides the core benefit of effectively sealing water in the basin to prevent unwanted drainage, though it relies on a manual chain mechanism rather than a modern pop-up system, which may not suit those preferring minimalist, hardware-free basin aesthetics.

FAQs
Is this plug compatible with non-Balterley basins?
Yes, it is designed to fit most standard basin waste holes, though a perfect fit is guaranteed with the Balterley range.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that can damage the chrome plating.
Does the chain come with the attachment bracket?
The product includes the plug and the chain; check your basin or waste unit for the specific anchor point where the chain attaches.
Is the plug replacement easy to do myself?
Yes, it is a simple DIY task that requires no plumbing knowledge or specialized tools.
Will the chain rust over time?
The chrome finish is designed to be moisture-resistant, but regular wiping and drying will significantly extend its lifespan.
Troubleshooting
Plug does not hold water
Check the rim of the basin drain for debris or soap scum build-up that might be preventing a tight seal.
Chain is tangled or caught
Ensure the chain is not looped around the faucet handles and check the attachment link for signs of warping.
Finish is losing its shine
Gently clean the surface with a mild soap solution and a soft cloth, then buff dry to restore the original luster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this basin plug is straightforward: simply attach the chain to the provided anchor point on your basin waste or tap base. The plug is designed to fit standard sink apertures commonly found in the Balterley ceramic collection. To keep the chrome finish looking its best, avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the protective finish. Instead, wipe the plug and chain down with a soft, damp cloth and dry it periodically to prevent water spots and lime scale buildup.
