The Easiest Tub Overflow Plate Replacement Solution

November 29, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

Until you discover the overflow plate is corroded or clogged, or until you need to replace your bathtub stopper, you frequently ignore your bathtub overflow plate. One of your tub’s most important features is the overflow plate, which prevents water from spilling over your tub and damaging your floor by directing it down the overflow tube. A bathtub located upstairs can wreak even more havoc by destroying the downstairs room’s ceiling and the floor underneath it.

The overflow plate contains a hole in the bottom that helps prevent water from overflowing by allowing water to pass through it. It could be time to replace your overflow plate if it starts to rust or if this hole gets plugged. Starting with the Watco Innovator® Snap-On White Finish Overflow Plate, replacing your old overflow plate with a brand-new one is quite easy. Watco’s specialty is long-lasting, high-quality tub repair products that are simple to install.

Watco Innovator® Snap-On White Finish

Easily Remove Your Current Overflow Plate

Whether your bathtub overflow plate has a trip-lever bathtub stopper, two holes, or one hole, it’s simple to remove it with a screwdriver. All you must do is unscrew the overflow plate and, if it has one, take away the connecting mechanism. Now is the ideal moment to swap out the trip lever stopper for a push-pull tub stopper, such as Watco’s SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish, which can be easily installed over your current drain and even if you have broken crossbars. 

Watco’s cutting-edge and contemporary bathtub stopper replacements and overflow plates make it simple to replace both your overflow plate and tub stopper at the same time, giving your bathtub a whole new look. With Watco overflow plate and bathtub stopper replacement parts, you can transform your tub from plain to gorgeous in a matter of minutes by selecting from a variety of exquisite finish options.

DIY Solutions for Your Problematic Bathtub Overflow Plate

October 30, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

Your bathtub is made up of many important components that allow it to hold and drain water effectively and efficiently. The overflow plate and tub drain are equally important, but sometimes the overflow plate is overlooked. The overflow plate is meant to protect water from overflowing and spilling out of the tub. If the tub overflows, it could damage the floor, the walls, or rooms underneath the bathroom floor. 

What Does the Overflow Plate Do?

The overflow plate is designed so if tub water gets high enough that it will start to overflow, the overflow plate redirects the water down a pipe that is connected to the tub’s main drain. This allows homeowners the opportunity to stop a disaster before it happens. If your tub’s overflow plate is not in good condition, it is a good idea to replace it immediately. 

Clogged drains or a deteriorated rubber gasket that sits behind the overflow plate could cause it to work improperly and cause a mess on your bathroom floor. 

DIY Bathtub Overflow Plate Replacement

While the task may sound daunting, it is not. It is so simple that anyone can do this themselves, regardless of their skill level. Watco makes bathtub trim kits that come with a new tub stopper and drain, and a bathtub overflow plate that you can install yourself and have a shiny, updated bathtub in just minutes. 

The Watco Innovator® Snap-On White Finish Overflow Plate Kit is adaptable to retrofit a double or single-hole trip lever overflow plate. You can choose from a wide selection of stunning finishes that include oil-rubbed bronze, chrome, and brushed nickel that will match the aesthetic of any bathroom décor.

Simple Solutions with Watco Bathtub Stoppers and Overflow Plate

October 04, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

The bathtub overflow plate can easily be overlooked as a significant component of the tub’s plumbing. When a tub starts to overfill, the overflow plate allows water to drain into the overflow tube, preventing the water from spilling onto the floor, and causing damage to not only the floor but possibly the ceiling in a room below the bathroom. Periodically, the overflow plate and bathtub stoppers can become corroded and need replacing. 

If you find that the tub’s drain or overflow plate needs to be replaced, you can easily upgrade both at the same time in a matter of minutes. Watco tub replacement parts require just the stopper and overflow plate to be removed and can be done in a few easy steps.

Get More Value Out of Your Home Before Listing It

July 31, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

The decision to sell your home can be an exciting but stressful time for homeowners. Making home improvements gives homeowners the best return on their investment by adding value to their homes, but it’s important to know which small repairs can have the best payoff, especially if you are working on a budget. 

Here is a list of areas to focus on with the most vital and affordable home improvements and repairs to make before listing your house. Other less expensive house renovations outside of the obvious ones like faulty HVAC or appliance units, exterior damage, or required roof repairs include the following:

  1. Refresh with Paint – Giving your walls a fresh coat of paint can make a lasting impression on buyers and give your home a fresh, updated look. While many homeowners like colorful or vibrant walls in their homes, it is important to choose neutral colors so you appeal to all buyers.

  2. Curb Appeal – Curb appeal can make or break a deal for homeowners wanting to sell their homes. If a buyer is not impressed with the outside appearance, such as landscaping and a nicely manicured lawn, they may not even make it through the front door.

  3. Upgrade the Kitchen – Some homeowners falsely believe they need to gut and renovate their kitchen if they are going to sell. This is not true. The best bet is to speak with a professional to learn what the best kitchen improvements are that will get the most return on the investment. 

  4. Updating Bathrooms – Make sure any leaking faucets or plumbing issues have been taken care of. If you only have to replace or repair corroded or unsightly sink or tub fixtures, the simplest solution is using the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish. This innovative bathtub replacement stopper by Watco is easily installed in minutes and can be installed over your existing drain. 

There is no need to remove your current drain because it fits over the existing strainer body and is compatible with drains that have broken crossbars. The Watco SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish and Watco Innovator® Snap-On White Finish Overflow Plate are all available from FixMyDrain.com. With short and simple-to-understand tutorials for each product, FixMyDrain.com demonstrates how to update your complete bathroom in just a few steps.

Replace Your Trip Lever Tub Stopper with a Convenient Push Pull Stopper

June 30, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

Bathtub stoppers that fail to function properly are a bothersome annoyance. Although the techniques differ depending on the sort of bathtub stopper you have, the issue is typically simple to resolve. While some drains use trip levers installed on the bathtub's overflow plate, others use spring-loaded stoppers that are activated by pushing with the toe or hand. A trip-lever drain stopper's rather complex operation makes it trickier to repair than most.

How a Trip Lever Tub Stopper Operates

It's crucial to first understand how this type of bathtub drain stopper functions. Your bathtub's overflow plate has a small-scale up-and-down lever that you can see sticking out of it that is behind the front tub wall that attaches to a vertical connecting rod within the overflow pipe. A plunger of some kind, typically a weight that closes the drain opening at the base of the overflow tube, is located close to the bottom of the connecting rod. A pop-up drain plug that fits into the bathtub drain opening is operated by a horizontal rocker arm that is sometimes controlled by the trip lever. In this instance, the horizontal rocker arm may be connected to a type of spring as the plunger device.

Replacing Your Trip Lever Tub Stopper

Whether your trip lever tub stopper uses a lift-bucket plunger or a pop-up stopper, replacing yourtub drain stoppercan be a breeze when you use Watco’sSimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finishbecause it fits right over your existing drain and can be installed over nearly any bathtub drain size with a universal fit.

Simply remove your existing overflow plate or replace it with a sparkling newWatco Innovator® Snap-On White Finish Overflow Platethat is retrofitted for a 1-hole, 2-hole, or trip lever overflow plate. Pair your new overflow plate with a push-pull SimpliQuick® Tub Fix in the same white matching finish.

June 28, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

An overflowing bathtub can cause a huge headache for homeowners if their bathtub overflow plate is not working properly. The importance of a functioning overflow plate can easily be overlooked when the time comes for an update to your tub stopper. The overflow plate executes a crucial job which is to redirect water to the overflow tube to prevent water from spilling out of the tub and onto the floor, subsequently causing potential damage to the floor or even a ceiling on a lower level if your bathroom is on an upper floor of the home. 

When the overflow plate overflows, water flows through a hole at the bottom of the plate. It could be time to repair your overflow plate if this hole gets clogged or if it simply appears worn out and rusty. Start by using the Watco Innovator® Snap-On White Finish Overflow Plate, which makes replacing your old overflow plate with a brand-new one quite simple. Watco tub repair parts are easy to install and are renowned for their durability and quality.

Watco Bathtub Stoppers and Overflow Plate Quick and Easy Solutions

April 26, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

In spite of its significance to the tub’s plumbing, the overflow plate is typically disregarded.  In the event of an overfilling tub, water will drain through the overflow plate and into the overflow pipe, keeping the bathroom from becoming a swimming pool.

Upgrade Your Bathroom with New Tub Fixtures

March 31, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

Upgrading your bathroom can go a long way to adding value to your home and providing additional comfort for your family. If your bathtub fixtures are dingy or corroded, it takes away from the look of the entire bathroom. Replacing worn-out tub fixtures like a bathtub stopper and the overflow plate is one of the simplest things you can do to upgrade the look of your whole tub and add some sparkle to one of the most used rooms in the house.

Replace the Overflow Plate with the Tub Stopper

Your bathtub stopper might be the first thing you notice, as no matter what type of tub stopper you have, it takes a lot of wear and tear on a daily basis. Over time bathtub stoppers can become dingy, worn out, or even broken. Replacing your tub stopper gives a facelift to your bathtub and can improve the functionality of your water flow if your tub stopper isn’t working as it should be.

When you consider replacing your bathtub stopper, don’t forget about the overflow plate. This oftentimes circular plate sits directly above the bathtub drain and has an open gap in the bottom to allow water to flow into the overflow tube in case the bathtub starts overflowing with water. This handy little fixture can often be overlooked and normally does not need a lot of attention.

When replacing your bathtub stopper, however, you should also replace the bathtub overflow plate to finish off the look of your bathtub.

Watco offers a wide selection of bathtub stoppers and overflow plates that anyone can install in just minutes. Watco bathtub stoppers are known for providing high quality, long-lasting performance and come with a five-year limited warranty. The SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish is one of the easiest bathtub stoppers to install, and Watco’s Innovator Snap-On® White Finish Overflow Plate is available in the same finish with the same easy installation.

FixMyDrain.com is committed to helping you solve your bathtub drain and stopper problems with quality products that are easy to install. Order your SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish today with a matching Innovator® Snap-On White Finish Overflow Plate to upgrade your bathtub and give your bathroom a facelift.

Convert Trip Lever Bathtub Drain to Push Pull Stopper

February 27, 2023 by Buy Eagle in Fix My Drain

If you see a lever sticking out of the overflow plate in your bathtub, this is a trip lever style of tub stopper that controls another mechanism. This lever controls either a plunger style or pop-up type of tub stopper.

For a plunger tub stopper, the lever controls a stopper that falls into the drainpipe junction at the overflow pipe to stop up water and hold it in the tub or release it. A plunger type of style is recognized by a drain that simply has a great cover without a visible stopper over the drain.
A pop up tub stopper is controlled by the lever which is attached to a rocker arm that moves the stopper up or down to plug the tub drain.

Over time, these types of trip lever bathtub stoppers can become corroded or broken or not work quite so well and you may experience water leaking from the tub instead of stopping the water completely like it is intended to do. They can be kind of a pain to repair as you need to remove the overflow plate and pull the linkage out, but this can be well worth it to replace with a simpler style of bathtub stopper.

Removing a Trip Lever Bathtub Stopper

The first thing to do is get a screwdriver to remove the overflow plate but have some rags handy so that you can pull out the overflow plate while lifting it up and pulling the attached linkage and lay on a rag without dirtying the tub.

Once you pull the linkage out, you can easily install a brand-new push-pull stopper like the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish which installs in just minutes.

Install New Push-Pull Stopper

Watco’s SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish is a revolutionary bathtub stopper designed to install right over your existing drain without the need to remove your current bathtub drain. This makes it easy for do-it-yourselfers of any skill level and can even install right over your tub drain if you have missing, corroded, or broken crossbars. Converting your trip lever tub stopper to the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish push pull stopper is a good idea to prevent problems with the trip lever and provide a reliable, functional bathtub stopper.

FixMyDrain.com is your one-stop for a high-quality, long-lasting bathtub drain stopper solution. Install with the matching Innovator® Snap-On Overflow Plate in a beautiful white finish option. Contact us with any questions on converting your trip lever tub stopper to Watco’s SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish push-pull bathtub stopper replacement.

When replacing your bathtub stopper, choose a Watco tub stopper replacement such as the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish that can easily install right over your existing drain without moving your current bathtub drain strainer body.

Removing Existing Bathtub Stopper

The first thing to do to replace your bathtub stopper is to remove your current tub stopper.  You need to first identify the type of bathtub stopper that you have to know the best way to remove it. The most common types of bathtub stoppers include:

  • Lift and turn - Easily turn the knob to open or close the tub stopper.

  • Push pull - Simply pull up on the style to drain water and push it down to seal water in the tub.

  • Foot activated - Just step on this tub stopper to pop it open or another time to push it closed, also called a toe-touch stopper.


The following types of bathtub stoppers are indicated by a trip lever protruding out of the overflow plate:

  • Pop-up - This type of stopper moves up and down when the trip lever is moved which controls an additional rocker arm attached to the stopper covering the drain.

  • Plunger - This type of bathtub stopper is also indicated by a trip lever protruding from the drain and also by a drain cover over the drain hole without a visible stopper. The lever moves a plunger up and down inside the overflow drain, which stops the water and holds it in the tub.

Once you identify the type of tub stopper you have, it’s easy to remove with simple household tools, usually needing nothing more than a screwdriver. Once you remove your bathtub stopper, the easiest way to replace it is with the SimpliQuick® Tub Fix White Finish solution by Watco.
