Bath Wastes with Overflows

A bath waste is the drainage assembly for a bathtub, consisting of the plug mechanism at the bottom of the bath and the overflow fitting at the upper end. Bath wastes in Australia are available as click-clack pop-up, cable-operated pop-up, and flip-lever (trip lever) types, as well as simple chain-and-plug designs. Many contemporary freestanding and back-to-wall baths use a click-clack waste for simplicity and a clean look.

The bath waste should coordinate with the tapware and other fittings in the bathroom. Matte black, chrome, brushed nickel, and brushed gold are all commonly available options. Note that the overflow cover and drain cover are both visible, so the finish choice is a design consideration as well as a functional one.

Not always, bath wastes are often sold separately from the bath itself. Always check the product listing to confirm whether a waste is included. If not, select a waste that is compatible with the overflow position and drain size of your specific bath. The Blue Space stocks a range of bath wastes to suit freestanding, back-to-wall, and built-in bath styles.
