FAQs
Are these bolts compatible with all bathroom sinks?
These bolts are compatible with most standard push-button waste systems that utilize an M8 thread.
Do I need tools to install this?
Typically, you can install these by hand, though a pair of pliers may be needed to gently remove the old, stuck bolt.
What does the M8 thread refer to?
M8 refers to the 8mm diameter of the metric screw thread, which is the industry standard for most sink waste plugs.
How many bolts are included?
This set includes 2 pieces of pop-up basin waste bolts.
Will the gold finish fade?
The finish is durable for bathroom use, but avoid harsh chemicals to maintain the gold appearance.
Troubleshooting
The plug does not 'click' or stay closed.
Check that the bolt is fully tightened into the plug base and that the spring mechanism inside your waste body is not clogged with debris.
The bolt feels loose after installation.
Ensure that the thread size of your sink waste is actually M8; if the bolt wobbles, the threads may be mismatched.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply unscrew your current plug top by rotating it counter-clockwise. Once removed, screw the new B&Q bolt into the base of the plug. Ensure the thread is aligned correctly before tightening to avoid cross-threading. These bolts are specifically compatible with M8 threaded waste bodies—please verify your existing hardware dimensions before installation. For care, avoid using abrasive sponges or acidic bathroom cleaners on the gold finish, as these can strip the plating over time. Rinsing the plug mechanism periodically with water helps prevent limescale buildup that could seize the bolt.
