Hi Many thanks for reply, no I don't have manufactures name, sink is only 5 years old. When I went to price a basket plug, and was told that I had to buy the whole thing, I was quoted £12-16 pounds. So £4.88 is very cheap.Can I get hold of Crewfox on line? many thanks snakehips

I am trying to get a new chrome basket strainer plug ONLY, but can only seem to find that the whole waste including the strainer plug is sold together. I have a granite sink but do not know the make of it. I have tried several other strainer plugs borrowed from friends/family to see if they fit...
