style and fashion bath and showerHow do you replace a toe touch tub stopper?
- Place a towel in the bottom of the bathtub to protect the tub's finish while you work.
- Lift the toe-tap stopper with your fingers until it will lift no farther.
- Pull upward on the stopper as you turn it counterclockwise if the stopper only spins instead of unscrews from the drain.
Considering this, how do you remove a push down tub stopper?
Remove the knob on the top of the stopper. Hold the body of the stopper in place with one hand and with the other hand unscrew the knob by turning it counter-clockwise. If the knob will not unscrew, then wrap the rag around the knob and use the pliers to help remove the knob.
Thereof, how do you close a bathtub drain without a stopper?
Place the cloth or sponge inside a plastic sandwich bag. Squeeze as much air out as you can and zip it closed or use a rubber band to secure it. Stuff the bag into the drain. The material should expand to snugly fill the hole, and the plastic bag will prevent water from escaping down the drain.
- First, remove the stopper.
- Insert the Drain Key or the Smart Dumbell into the drain.
- Keep turning drain counterclockwise until the old drain is released - it shouldn't take too many turns before the drain comes right out.
- Clean drain area, making sure to remove all old putty residue.
