Bathroom Wastes

Bathroom Wastes — Basin and Bath, Click Clack, in Four Finishes

Every bathroom waste we stock is click clack: press the plug to close, press again to open. No pull rod behind the tap, no linkage underneath, nothing to seize up. Eleven fittings in total, covering both the basin and the bath in chrome, matt black, brushed brass and white ceramic.

The two are not interchangeable, and that is the first fork in the road. A bathroom sink waste uses a G1 ¼ thread and drops into a 45 mm hole. A bath waste is larger, threads G1 ½ into a 52 mm hole, and arrives as an assembly with its linked overflow. Buying one when you needed the other is a wasted order rather than a near miss.

Basin or bath?

• Basin wastes — eight fittings, slotted and unslotted, at 60 mm, 66 mm and 70 mm. This is where the overflow question matters: look inside the bowl for a slot near the rim before you order.
• Bath wastes — three fittings, all with a linked overflow and an easy-clean removable basket. Baths effectively always have an overflow, so there is no slotted-versus-unslotted decision to make here.

Buy it with the tap

None of our ELLSI bathroom taps include a waste, and the two sit close enough together that a mismatch is immediately visible — a black tap above a chrome plug is the one we see most often. The finishes here are made to match the taps in the same range, so ordering both together is the simplest way to avoid it.

Two Deva taps are the exception and come with their waste already: the Ethos and the Adore Mini. If you are buying either, you do not need anything from this page.

What we do not stock

No traps. The trap is the U-bend below the fitting that holds water to block drain smells — a separate part, and a sound existing one can almost always be reused when the waste is changed. We also do not stock shower wastes, kitchen sink wastes, or rod-operated pop-up wastes.

Not sure which you need? The wastes buying guide covers the three questions that decide it, and our article on slotted versus unslotted wastes goes further into the detail.
