Could someone tell me where I could get one of these bath plugs as struggling (in Ireland) to find one. I know the pin is missing from it but I need a replacement plug. This is one that uses a mechanism on the taps to open and close the plug from memory, rather than the wheel on the bath. Are the plugs all a standard size? Thanks

I'd be more worried about the moss on that drive ;-)

The above link looks good - the 'pin' is basically a machine screw/threaded bar adjusted to the correct length - whether operated by a lever or twisty knob, there's something in the drain that moves up & down two the 'pin' length needs to be adjusted to suit.

Maybe this one would be better - if it's the right size

I had the same problem. That's a lifted plug not a click clac right?

I inherited a huge number of knitting needles from mother in law. I found one of a suitable diameter screwed it into the threaded section and by trial and error cut to length. The needles are hard plastic so use a cup of boiling water to soften the end if needs be.

Knitting needles are surprisingly useful.
