Overtime, bathtub drains become worn and need to be replaced. Some indications that you need a new drain are slow drainage, leaks, corrosion or cracks, a broken stopper, or mineral buildup that cannot be cleaned. This guide provides an easy, safe, and affordable way to replace a bathtub drain on your own.
Standard bathtub drains have a 1.5 inch diameter. If you are unsure about the size of yours, measure before purchasing the new drain cover.

Insert the stopper with the gasket in the drain.

Test the stopper by closing the drain and filling the tub with water. Press down on top of the stopper to close the drain.
