How To Remove A Bathroom Sink Drain Stopper

A bathroom sink drain stopper is a small device that fits into the drain hole of a bathroom sink. It is used to prevent water from draining out of the sink, and can be removed for cleaning or replacement. There are two main types of bathroom sink drain stoppers: pop-up stoppers and lift-and-turn stoppers. Pop-up stoppers are the most common type, and they are typically made of rubber or plastic. They have a small button on top that can be pressed to open or close the stopper. Lift-and-turn stoppers are less common, and they are typically made of metal. They have a handle that can be lifted and turned to open or close the stopper. To remove a bathroom sink drain stopper, you will need to follow these steps: 1.

Turn off the water supply to the sink.

This will prevent water from flowing out of the sink while you are working. 2.

Open the drain stopper.

If the stopper is a pop-up stopper, press the button on top to open it. If the stopper is a lift-and-turn stopper, lift the handle and turn it to open it. 3.

Remove the drain stopper.

Once the stopper is open, you can simply pull it out of the drain hole. 4.

Clean the drain stopper.

If the stopper is dirty, you can clean it with a mild soap and water solution. 5.

Reinstall the drain stopper.

Once the stopper is clean, you can simply push it back into the drain hole. 6.

Turn on the water supply to the sink.

Once the stopper is reinstalled, you can turn on the water supply to the sink and test the stopper to make sure it is working properly. If you are having trouble removing a bathroom sink drain stopper, you can call a plumber for assistance.
