How do I know which diameter basket strainer waste will fit my sink?

Measure the internal diameter of the existing plughole or the waste aperture in the sink; that number must match the waste diameter. Thomas Denby list a 60mm Belfast sink waste, so if you have a traditional Belfast or fireclay sink with a 60mm hole that product will fit. If you're replacing an old waste, remove it and measure across the widest internal point to be sure.

What's the practical difference between slotted and unslotted basket strainer wastes?

Slotted baskets have drainage slots so water flows while the basket catches debris, making them handy for continuous washing and quick drainage. Unslotted (solid) baskets can hold water when seated, so you can fill the sink for soaking or washing up; several Eastlake unslotted options are sold with overflow for that reason. If you want to trap food scraps but still fill the sink, choose an unslotted waste with overflow.

When should I buy a waste with overflow and how does it work?

Choose a waste with overflow if your sink has an overflow channel, the waste ties into that channel and prevents overfilling by diverting excess water. The Eastlake and Thomas Denby ranges include "with overflow" variants for exactly this purpose. If your sink has no overflow hole, use a waste without overflow to avoid leaks or poor sealing.

Which finish and material will best match my sink and stand up to regular use?

Match stainless steel or chrome finishes with modern stainless sinks for a seamless, low-maintenance look; both resist corrosion and are easy to clean. Brushed brass, pewter, artisan brass or regency copper work beautifully with Belfast or traditional-style sinks to create a warm, period feel such as the Thomas Denby artisan brass Belfast waste. Matt black and nickel offer a contemporary contrast if you have a muted or industrial kitchen scheme.

Can I use a square basket strainer in any sink, and are there wastes made for Belfast sinks?

Square basket strainers are designed for sinks with square or angular waste apertures, so they won't fit a standard round hole without modification; Sauber offer square options for sinks that need that shape. For Belfast-style sinks you're best with purpose-made wastes such as the Thomas Denby list 60mm Belfast sink basket strainers in finishes such as chrome and artisan brass to match the deep ceramic bowls.
