Is the basket strainer plug in your kitchen sink broken or worn out? Order a new sink drain plug online right here. Below you'll find our range in various types and sizes. It's important that you order the right (exact same) strainer plug, otherwise the drain plug won't seal your sink properly. Check out our tips below for finding the correct strainer plug.
Almost all basket strainer plugs have a steel or plastic pin and are round with a diameter of around 8 centimetres (80mm strainer plug). So these are features you don't really need to worry about. What matters most is which brand of sink you have. With our filters, you can easily select the right brand. We stock a wide range of Franke, Reginox and Blanco strainer plugs, among others. Want to replace your strainer plug but not sure which one you need? Take a good look at what your pin looks like: does it have a flat side? Is the pin made of plastic? You can also measure the length of the pin. If you're still not sure, feel free to send us a photo of your sink and plug. We'll take a look and see how we can help.

Strainers for your kitchen sink come in many shapes and sizes. People also call this an adjustable stopper, basket strainer, sink stopper, sink strainer, sink basket or plug. We stick with the term basket strainer plug. It's essentially a debris strainer (basket) with a plug attached (pin). So you can use it as a strainer by pulling it up. The steel ball or the thickened section in the plastic pin keeps the strainer plug standing upright, letting water drain from your sink while debris stays caught in the basket. Want to wash up or just fill the sink with water? Simply push the plug down and it drops into the mechanism. This closes off the stopper and keeps the water in the sink thanks to the seal.
Getting the correct size strainer plug for your sink is essential. If it doesn't match the old one, the basket strainer often won't sit flush in the sink because the ring is too thick. This means the sink won't seal properly, and dirt and water can seep past your strainer plug into the drain. So make sure you order the correct strainer plug.
We offer strainer plugs for virtually every sink brand, including Franke, Reginox, Blanco and Caressi. Each brand often uses its own mounting system and pin shape, so always check which brand of sink you have before ordering. Not sure about the brand or model? Measure the diameter of the basket and the shape of the pin — that's usually enough to identify the right part.
Replacing a strainer plug usually requires no tools at all. Lift the old strainer plug out of the opening, check whether there's a rubber sealing ring in the sink and reposition it if needed. Then push the new strainer plug into place and test whether the pin moves smoothly up and down. Does the stopper seal properly when pushed down? Then it's fitted correctly. Still seeing water leak around the edge? Check that the ring is properly tightened and that the sealing ring isn't worn.
Strainer plugs last for years, but limescale buildup and daily use can eventually cause the pin to stick or stop sealing properly. Cleaning it regularly with a mild cleaning product prevents stubborn dirt from building up around the pin and significantly extends the lifespan of your strainer plug. Notice that the strainer plug is difficult to push down, or won't stay up anymore? Then replacing it is usually the quickest and cheapest solution.
This depends on the brand and type of sink you have. Most basket strainer plugs have a diameter of around 8 centimetres, but the shape of the pin and the mounting system differ per brand, such as Franke, Reginox, Blanco and Caressi. Use our brand filters to quickly find the right model, or check out our strainer plug selector tool for extra guidance.
First check the sink itself for a brand name or model number, often found on the underside or edge of the bowl. Not sure of the brand? Take a look at the shape of the pin: does it have a flat side or is it round, and is it made of metal or plastic? You can also send us a photo so we can help you find the right strainer plug.
A leaking strainer plug is usually caused by a worn sealing ring or the wrong size having been fitted. Check that the ring is properly tightened and still seals well. If the ring is fine and the leak continues, you probably need a new strainer plug with a matching seal.
A strainer plug is the individual part that acts as a strainer and stopper in your sink. A strainer plug set often includes extra parts such as the sealing ring, nut and sometimes an overflow tube, so you have everything you need to complete the replacement in one go. Not sure exactly what you need? The complete set is usually the safest choice.
