Product Information

Full details

This Balterley basin waste is designed for bathroom sinks that require a slotted overflow. It effectively stops water from running away while offering a clean, chrome finish to complement modern bathrooms.

FAQs

What is a 'slotted' waste and why do I need it?

A slotted waste is designed for basins that have an overflow hole (a small hole near the top rim). The 'slot' in the waste allows water that rises to the overflow hole to drain away, preventing the basin from overflowing and causing water damage.

Can I use this waste if my basin does not have an overflow hole?

No, this is a slotted waste and is designed specifically for basins with an overflow. If your basin does not have an overflow, you will need an 'unslotted' waste.

How do I clean the push button mechanism?

The push button can be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild soap. For a more thorough clean, the plug assembly can be removed from the waste body. Ensure it is dried completely before reinserting.

What are the dimensions of the waste?

The approximate dimensions are 61mm in diameter at the top and 82mm in body length. It's recommended to measure your basin's drain hole to ensure compatibility.

Does this waste come with matching brassware?

This product is part of the Balterley range, which offers matching brassware. You can find complementary taps and other bathroom fittings to create a consistent look.

How often should I check the seal?

It's advisable to check the seal periodically, perhaps every 6-12 months, or if you notice any signs of leaking. This ensures the waste continues to function effectively.

Troubleshooting

Waste does not seal properly

Check that the rubber seal underneath the basin is correctly seated and not damaged. Ensure the retaining nut is tightened sufficiently. Verify that the basin has a slotted overflow, as this waste is designed for that type.

Push button is stiff or not working

The internal mechanism may have debris. Carefully dismantle the waste (refer to setup instructions in reverse) and clean the moving parts. Lubricate lightly with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Water leaking from around the base of the waste

The seal between the waste and the basin may be compromised or the retaining nut may not be tight enough. Check and re-seat the seal, and tighten the retaining nut. Consider applying plumber's putty around the seal if the issue persists.

Chrome finish is dull or tarnished

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. For persistent tarnish, a specific chrome polish can be used, following the product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the basin has a pre-drilled overflow hole.
  2. Unscrew the retaining nut from the underside of the basin waste.
  3. Place the waste into the basin's drain hole from above, ensuring the rubber seal is correctly positioned.
  4. From underneath, fit the retaining nut and tighten securely. Do not overtighten.
  5. Attach any associated overflow pipework if required.

Compatibility:

  • This waste is specifically designed for basins with a slotted overflow. It will not function correctly with basins that do not have an overflow hole.
  • The dimensions are approximately 61mm (diameter of the top) x 82mm (length of the body), so ensure these fit your basin's drain aperture.
  • It is designed to be compatible with standard UK plumbing connections.

Care:

  • Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the chrome finish.
  • For stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive household cleaner. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Periodically check the seal and tighten the retaining nut if necessary.
