Plug (bath, not bash street...)

[SportsCoupeRich]

Hi - please help. SWMBO is going mad at me.

A month ago we had some decorators in. They accidentally threw the bath plug out (i know...).

I was supposed to sort but didnt get time before leaving UK for spell in Mid East. I did get a chance to note the diameters so I could find and order one.....I am not finding this easy. Any help....?

Sketch attached.

Dia - 5cm
Depth - 1.3
Spindle length - 3.5cm but needs to be adjustable as it is tough to measure accurately (used string down hole...)
Spindle diameter - 8mm max.

HELP - SWMBO is missing her baths and I am getting sustained artillery fire.

Until you get the plug, blutak makes a great temp plug which will keep you out of the doghouse for a short while.

Cant help with the plug, sorry. Happy to come round and hold the water in with my foot if that helps.

Unless you can find one on eBay or similar, it will probably be easier just to replace the waste connection on the bath with a new one.

Tell her not to worry, as her fat ar$e will easily cover the plug hole and stop the water draining out.

Squash ball?

Some good answers as always!

Have ordered one tan - thanks. If it works great if not then the waste gate is the plan I suppose.
