Bathroom Sink Stopper

63

By Reg Brittain

The thing that keeps water in your bathroom sink – that's the “bathroom sink stopper”. This is the smallest of appliances, but its job cannot be over-rated. We need bathroom sink stoppers for times such as shaving, or when we are putting in our contacts – whoa be to thee who loses a contact down the sink drain!

There are two main types of bathroom sink stopper – the rubber kind you plug into, and the internal kind that is more complex (metal, plastic, and rubber, with moving parts working together in chorus to stop the sink drain). Makers of this essential item include well-known faucet and sink makers, like Delta and American Standard.

The price range here is not too much. Many quality bathroom sink stoppers run around $20 or $30. (And a quality rubber bathroom sink stopper would cost much less.)
