Basin Wastes

When redesigning your bathroom the extras and accessories can be just as important as the bath, shower or toilet and the wastes, specifically the Basin Wastes can make a real impact to the look of your vanity unit or basin. They’re available in square or round styles, push, click or flip top and some are still available with a good old fashioned plug! You can now easily create a brilliant seal between the waste and your basin which will stay watertight almost indefinitely.

The different types of basin waste explained

The first thing you need to do when deciding on which basin waste you need is work out whether you need a slotted or unslotted waste. This may sound confusing or you may not know what the slot is for but it’s actually really simple. If your basin has an overflow hole to stop water getting to high in it then you need a slotted waste. This allows any excess water to drain from the top of the basin right back into the same waste pipe below. If you don’t have an overflow in your basin then you would need an unslotted waste. Examples below:

Standard Plug Wastes

 

Standard plug basin waste

This type of waste is quite old fashioned these days and is only usually found in bathrooms that haven’t been renovated. That being said some people do still prefer to be able to take the plug out as it will drain the water faster than any other type of basin waste.

Pop Up Wastes

 

Pop up basin waste (Clicker or Push top)

A pop up basin waste is now the norm when it comes to bathroom basins. They work really easily with a simple press to open or close them. They don’t allow drainage quite as quickly as the standard plug wastes but they certainly look a lot more stylish!

Flip Top Wastes

 

Flip top basin waste

Lastly flip top wastes are an ingenious design! They simply let you push down on one side of the plug hole, rotating the waste and allow water to drain from the basin. They’re very stylish and not very common meaning they’ll definitely impress any guests that you’ve got.

To ensure an easy and trouble-free installation we ensure that all of our basin wastes come complete with wash basin waste fittings. This guarantees you that any fittings included are compatible with the waste and because all of our wastes are a standard size you can have it fitted to your basin quicker.

How do I know whether to buy a slotted or an unslotted basin waste?

Look at your basin for an overflow hole; if you have one you need a slotted waste to allow water to escape through the overflow, and if you don't you buy an unslotted waste. A great option to compare is the Architeckt Flat Mushroom Clicker, which is available in both slotted (for basins with overflow) and unslotted versions (for basins without). Choosing the wrong type will stop the overflow working, so check the basin rim before you order.

Which operation style should I pick, pop up, clicker, press top, flip top or push down?

Match the operation to how you want to use the basin: pop-up wastes give a neat lever-operated seal and are common with modern vanity sets, clicker or press-top wastes offer a one-touch, minimalist action, and flip top or plug wastes give a traditional manual plug feel. Push-down styles are very sleek and many higher-end options focus on precision engineering. If you want something simple and low-profile for a contemporary bathroom, a press-top or clicker is a good bet; for classic baths or if you like a removable plug, choose a flip top.

What finish should I choose so the waste matches my taps and basin furniture?

Pick a finish that matches or complements your taps and other fittings. Chrome is versatile and widely stocked, matt black pairs beautifully with black taps, and brushed brass or nickel suits warmer or textured schemes. Our range of taps includes chrome, black, brushed brass, bronze, copper, nickel, pewter and white. Try to match the finish family rather than exact tone; sticking to the same finish across taps, waste and overflow cover gives the most cohesive look.

What size waste do I need and will it fit my existing trap?

Many of the wastes shown are the standard 1 1/4" size, such as the 1 1/4" Flip Top and the Armitage Shanks 1¼" brass strainer, will fit standard domestic bottle traps. Measure the diameter of your existing waste or check the trap inlet; if it's a standard basin installation a 1 1/4" waste will usually drop straight in. If you have an unusual or concealed trap, double-check the product spec to confirm the connection size.

Which wastes give the best long-term seal and durability?

Solid-metal and brass strainer wastes tend to be the most durable; the Armitage Shanks 1¼" brass strainer is a good example of a robust option, while premium push-down wastes from BC Designs are engineered for longevity. Many modern wastes in this range promise a very effective seal, the product notes highlight that you can create a brilliant seal that will stay watertight almost indefinitely. If longevity is a priority, favour brass or high-quality plated finishes and reputable brands rather than the cheapest plastic options.
