Product Information

Full details

The Balterley Bath Waste with Overflow is designed for homeowners and renovators seeking a reliable, traditional drainage solution for their bathtub. Its standout benefit is the simple, durable poly plug and ball chain mechanism which ensures a consistent seal, though it may lack the modern push-button convenience found in more advanced pop-up models. This essential hardware provides a secure fit for standard bathtubs up to 5mm thick, finished in a high-quality chrome that integrates perfectly with other Balterley brassware.

FAQs

Will this fit a cast iron bath?

This waste is designed for baths up to 5mm thick. If your cast iron bath exceeds this thickness, it may not be compatible.

Is the ball chain replaceable?

Yes, the ball chain can be replaced if it breaks or becomes worn over time.

Does this unit include the overflow cover plate?

Yes, the unit is a complete assembly including the waste plug and the overflow cover.

How do I clean the poly plug?

You can remove the plug and wash it with warm, soapy water to remove soap scum or mineral deposits.

Can I use this with a modern basin?

No, this product is specifically designed for bathtub installations with integrated overflow points.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking from the drain when the plug is inserted.

Check that the poly plug is free of debris and sits squarely in the drain hole; ensure the gasket under the drain flange is correctly positioned.

The bath is draining slowly even when the plug is in.

Ensure the plug is fully seated; if the issue persists, inspect the drain pipe for blockages beneath the waste.

The chrome finish appears dull.

Gently clean with a solution of water and mild dish soap using a non-abrasive microfiber cloth to restore shine.

  • Durable construction for daily use
  • Classic design aesthetic with chrome finish
  • Compatible with standard bathtub installations

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the Balterley Bath Waste requires basic plumbing tools. Ensure your bathtub wall thickness does not exceed 5mm to guarantee the provided bolts and fittings can create a watertight connection.

  1. Position the waste body under the drain hole and the overflow assembly behind the overflow hole.
  2. Apply appropriate plumbing sealant or use the included gaskets to create a waterproof barrier against the tub material.
  3. Tighten the fittings evenly to secure the unit without cracking the bathtub surface.

Care: To maintain the chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the chrome plating. Periodically check the ball chain for debris or lime scale buildup to keep the plug operating smoothly.
