Drain Replacement of The Bathtub
Over time, your bathtub drain will break down and will
no longer work as it did when it was first installed.
If
you have a drain with a built-in plug, you may notice
that this occurs quicker than in the drains with separate
plugs elsewhere in your home.
How do I know when it s time to replace my bathtub drain?
As time passes, you may notice that:
• Dirty water is very slow to drain from the tub when the drain is open;
• It is very difficult to open and close the stopper; and
• The water drains out of the tub slowly, even though the stopper is closed.
If you notice any or all of the above issues with your bathtub plug, you will have to
purchase drain replacement parts for your drain and replace it yourself, or have
someone do it for you.
In reality, replacing a drain is not a difficult task.
The
materials required include:
• A Phillips head screwdriver;
• Plumbers putty;
• Clean shop rags; and
• Channel locks.
