FAQs

Can this basin waste be used with a basin that has an overflow?

No, this basin waste is specifically designed for basins that do *not* have an overflow channel. Using it on a basin with an overflow will not create a seal and could lead to issues.

How do I clean the brushed brass finish?

Gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Always dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid harsh chemicals and scouring pads.

What is the warranty period for this basin waste?

The Balterley basin waste comes with a 1-year manufacturer's guarantee.

Is this waste suitable for a kitchen sink?

This product is designed for bathroom basins. While it might physically fit, kitchen sinks often have different plumbing requirements and larger drain sizes. It's recommended to use products specifically designed for kitchen sinks.

How do I operate the click-clack mechanism?

Simply push down on the cap of the waste to close it, and push again to open it. This action controls the seal of the drain.

What are the dimensions of the waste?

The dimensions are H: 103 x W: 60 x D: 104mm. The waste pipe length is 43mm.

Do I need any special tools for installation?

Basic plumbing tools are usually sufficient, such as a wrench or pliers for tightening the locking nut, and a screwdriver if applicable. The top-fix design aims to minimize the need for specialized tools.

Troubleshooting

Waste does not seal properly, causing slow drainage.

Ensure the rubber seals are correctly seated and free from debris. Check that the locking nut or bracket underneath is tightened securely, but avoid over-tightening which could damage the basin or waste.

Click-clack mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check the mechanism for any obstructions or build-up of soap scum or toothpaste. Clean the moving parts with a mild detergent and water, rinse, and dry. Ensure no parts are bent or misaligned.

Water is leaking from the underside connection.

Verify that the waste pipe connection is secure and that any included seals or washers are correctly fitted. If the leak persists, consider using plumber's tape on the threaded connection before re-tightening.

Brushed brass finish appears dull or discolored.

Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners. If the discoloration is stubborn, a specialist brass cleaner might be needed, but always test in an inconspicuous area first and follow product instructions carefully.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy 'top-fix' installation from above the basin.
  • Stylish brushed brass finish enhances bathroom aesthetics.
  • Convenient and hygienic click-clack operation.
  • Streamlined appearance due to no-overflow design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This basin waste is designed for top-fix installation. This means the main components are assembled and secured from above the basin. Typically, this involves inserting the waste body through the basin's drain hole, placing a washer or seal underneath, and then securing it with a locking nut or bracket from beneath the basin. The click-clack mechanism is usually pre-assembled or easily attached.

Compatibility:

This waste is specifically designed for basins without an overflow channel. It fits most standard UK basin drain hole sizes. Ensure your basin does not have a pre-drilled or integrated overflow hole before purchasing.

Care:

To maintain the brushed brass finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. For tougher marks, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth. Periodically check the seals and mechanism for debris to ensure smooth operation.
