Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Self Parking Universal Bath & Basin Plug is designed for homeowners and renters seeking a hassle-free, permanent replacement for traditional rubber or chain-link plugs. Its standout benefit is the integrated self-parking mechanism that keeps the plug neatly stowed against the side of the basin when not in use, effectively eliminating clutter and the risk of losing your plug. While highly adaptable to most standard waste sizes, users should verify their basin geometry to ensure the parking mechanism has enough flat surface area for optimal suction or placement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply place the plug into your existing waste outlet. Ensure the basin surface is clean and dry where the parking mechanism attaches to guarantee a firm hold. For ongoing care, rinse the plug periodically with mild soap and water to prevent soap scum buildup, which can impact the seal and the effectiveness of the parking feature. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the material over time. If you notice a reduction in suction, wipe the parking area of your basin with a microfiber cloth to remove debris.
