Sink Plug

[daviemc]

Does anyone take a plug for the bathroom sink with them?. I have taken some in the past but they never seem to fit, the water just runs away halfway through shaving, If anyone has found one that fits properly could they please post the size and where you got it from.

got ours last year from asda i think it is a large flat one and works well lot better than trying to bung plug hole up with toilet paper lol just look for the holiday essentials stand most of the supermarkets have them hope this helps

ooooh yeah thats a good point made dave !

I am struggling to get one myself, although I do prefer a nice white Plug,
Is the one you have from asda white ?
If not I may have to take my plug search elsewhere!

I got a multi size one a couple of years ago, it has a smallish bottom part which will fit all plug-holes and a very wide part at the top so that no matter what size the plug hole the water will not run out. I cannot for the life of me remember where I got it from but it will have been from somewhere like Wilkinsons, Home Bargains or big store like those as thats the places I go for items of that nature.

Thanks for the replies Robin and Hands, yes I got 2 different sizes in asda last year and none where any good, just saw some on eBay that might do the job will give them a try.

You are welcome. The top of the one I got I will stress is very wide and goes a long way over the bottom part.
It is an essential thing that is only small but you absolutely cannot use anything else to do the job!

Dave, The one you have there off Ebay looks just what I am looking for.

Its white, round and looks like it could pull the gap left in them sinks in icmeler.

Also its a good price , Sink plugs can be tricky thigns to get , but I am very grateful you managed to dig out this masterpiece.

Not long now until I land in my little piece of heaven!

[daviemc]

I ordered them hands, should be here today or tomorrow so will try give them a try and let you know if they work ok.

36 days left for me now can't wait

[hands88]

Ok Davie,

Thanks for that , although what dimensions is the gaping hole in your sink at home?
would it be the same as the one in the land of paradise ! ? ( icmeler of course ) !

I knew what you meant! As long as you don't post a word like "tuck" or "hugger" with a typing error lol!

[daviemc]

LOL @ Harleybabe , anyway got the plugs from ebay, tried them in the bathroom SINK , they held the water for a little while, will try and source better ones.

Davie

[hands88]

Oh noo!
Davie , so the water eventually seaped through?

This plug search is going to be harder than first predicted!

Looks like it could be a SINKING blow if I don't get one !

I put the plug in the sink when I got here in April and left a few dishes in soak.

I came home after a few hours to a flooded hose as I didn't know that the tap was weeping and filled the bloody sink up.

No more plugs for me

Sorry for that, I did think when I looked at the ebay one though that is was different to mine, mine is very very wide at the top, much wider than that one you got on ebay. I will look around while I am out and about and if I see ones like mine and will tell you where I got mine from. I have tried to remember but for the life of me cant.

Hard to believe that a Topic on Sick/Sink Plugs would take 18 hits, an old remedy from days spent in the Forces is to stick some toilet paper in the out let,not great but allows you long enough to wash.

[blondie]

What about one of these?
