How to Replace a Bathtub Stopper?

By Eagle Mountain Products  

It can be very frustrating to have a broken bathtub drain stopper that doesn't hold water while trying to take a bath.  We want you to know that it is really a much simpler fix than you ever imagined.  Eagle Mountain Products will give you a few pointers on how to get started. 

Bathtub stoppers come in a variety of configurations but we highly encourage you to get a quality Watco one.  After all, who wants to have to redo the job in a few years?  All Watco bathtub stoppers will ensure you years of trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance.

We carry so many styles of bath tub stoppers that it is just a matter of what you like best. All our Watco tub stoppers are manufactured to the highest standards and are the same products plumbers use.  You can chose a Watco Universal NuFit® tub stoppers that fits over your old drain, or one that fits into the drain such as our Foot Actuated, PresFlo® or Push Pull® models.   Either way, we will show you how to install it!

To do the job right, consider the following: 

• To remove the old stopper, you will need a few tools (flat-head and Phillips screwdriver, and perhaps a set of pliers).  Be sure to watch our Watco YouTube Video Library to see step-by-step instructions so you are prepared.
• Most tubs are pretty standard in size but go ahead and measure the diameter of the drain to be sure you get the right-sized stopper.
• Print out the Bathtub Stopper Reference Guide PDF for help in purchasing the correct match of the Stem/Pin from your original stopper. 
• Check the skill level required for the installation of the stopper you have chosen.  Some models do require a few extra steps.
• Visit our Bathtub stopper buyers guide where you can choose from a Push Pull®, Lift and Turn, Foot Actuated or PresFlo® replacement bathtub stoppers.
