universal bath plug

Postby cjun » January 15th, 2007

Does anyone know where I can buy a universal bath plug? I haven't had any luck yet.

For some reason google gives about 95% UK websites, but here are a few in the US -

There are also some more economical options, such as a cut-in-half, inside-out tennis ball or one of those jar-gripper thingies. Pretty much anything that's large enough, flat, and smooth rubber should work.

Any decently stocked DIY store ought to have one (Home Depot, for instance).

It's more like a slow-the-water-from-going-down-the-drain plug. But better than nothing. Have seen them in the plumbing depts of local hardware stores.

Hey cjun this ol former Lake Charles boy just bought one at REI and they have them at Wal-Mart. It's just a flat piece of round rubber but they work somewhat and they have come in handy for me more than once but I bought my last one ten years ago and it finally cracked.
