Replacing a bathtub drain stopper is a simple plumbing task that can be completed in a few minutes with the right tools. A drain stopper prevents water from draining out of the bathtub, and it can become worn or damaged over time. Replacing the stopper is a relatively inexpensive way to keep your bathtub functioning properly.
There are two main types of bathtub drain stoppers: lift-and-turn stoppers and pop-up stoppers. Lift-and-turn stoppers are the most common type, and they are operated by lifting the stopper up and turning it to the side. Pop-up stoppers are less common, and they are operated by pressing down on the stopper to close it and pulling up on it to open it.
