Pop up bath plug knackered?

[bettz1]

Right the push down and pop up bath plug seems to be about knackered it's getting more annoying trying to get the thing to spring back up to empty the bath.

If seems a bit stiff at times.

What does adjusting the little screw do?

Should the the top screw off so I can get a replacement push down bit?

Quite suprised you managed to get it out as a rule the whole unit needs to be replaced. Corrosion or scale I would think. Try soaking overnight in descaler or white vinegar. Wash and then a squirt of wd40 in the long run I suspect you will need to change the complete unit though.

I had to use a little suction pad I had from changing the screen on my phone which was a lifesaver it just needed twisting a little and it popped up.

The plug just unscrews and comes straight out.

I've seen replacement pop up pins but it doesn't look like mine unscrews I'll try later.

Typical just put a new bath panel on and siliconed around
