FAQs
Can I use this waste with a basin that has an overflow hole?
No, this is an unslotted waste and is designed specifically for basins that do not have an overflow hole. Using it with a basin that has an overflow will result in water leaking.
What material is this basin waste made from?
The Balterley Round Push Button Basin Waste is manufactured from high-quality materials with a durable chrome finish.
How do I clean the chrome finish?
Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly to maintain the shine and prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Is this waste compatible with all standard basins?
It is compatible with standard UK/EU basin drain sizes, provided the basin is unslotted (does not have an overflow).
What is the benefit of the push-button operation?
The push-button operation provides a simple and convenient way to open and close the waste, allowing for easy control over water in the basin.
Can I match this waste with other bathroom fittings?
Yes, this waste is part of the Balterley range, and matching brassware is available to create a consistent and stylish look in your bathroom.
Troubleshooting
Waste is not sealing properly and water is draining
Ensure the rubber seal underneath the basin is correctly positioned and the retaining nut is tightened securely. Check for any debris on the sealing surfaces.
Push button is stiff or difficult to operate
Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Clean around the push button and ensure the waste is properly aligned and seated. A small amount of silicone lubricant may help, but avoid petroleum-based lubricants.
Chrome finish appears dull or has spots
Clean the surface with a soft cloth and a mild soap solution. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
