Bath Wastes, Plugs & Overflows

A bath waste is an important but often overlooked aspect of your bath, allowing you the ability to control the water flow out of your bath whilst giving you an opportunity to enhance the style.

At Tap Warehouse we have an extensive range of bath wastes designed to suit every bath and complement a variety of bath tap styles. From classic plug and chain wastes ideal for traditional baths to modern clicker wastes and overflow bath fillers, you’re sure to find something to suit. 

We also stock bath wastes in a variety of finishes including chrome, black and brushed brass. Why not opt for a pop up bath waste or bath plug for added convenience?

In the UK bath wastes are a universal size at 1½” BSP (British standard pipe), or 40mm. Changing a bath waste is one of the easiest ways to give your bath a refresh and with the correct tools shouldn’t take a long time.

Minimum Water Pressure

Your water pressure depends on your home's water system. It’s important to consider water pressure when buying a new tap or shower. Buying a product with a minimum water pressure that’s too high for your home will result in poor performance.

- With a combi boiler you can usually expect between 1 and 2 bar

- With a gravity system (cold water tank in attic) you may have as little as 0.1 or 0.2 bar upstairs, and perhaps 0.5 bar downstairs

- With a high pressure unvented system (hot water cylinder, no cold water tank) you will generally have between 1 and 3 bar

You can install an item with a low minimum pressure rating on a high pressure system, but avoid installing an item with a high minimum rating on a low pressure system! Read our guide to water pressure to learn more.
