How to Choose Bathroom Wastes

If you’re looking for bathroom wastes in Perth, you’ll soon see there is no shortage of varieties and options. There are wastes to suit all design styles and budgets, from traditional budget wastes to modern matt wastes and beyond.

Choosing a bathroom waste is a fairly straightforward process; it merely comes down to the type, functionality and design.

Bathroom Wastes FAQs

The different types of sink wastes include pop-up wastes, plug and chain wastes, flip-top wastes, and free-flow wastes. Each type controls how water drains from the basin, with pop-up wastes being the most common choice in modern bathrooms.

A pop-up waste is better than a plug and chain for most bathrooms because it offers easier operation, a cleaner appearance, and no loose parts. A plug and chain waste can still suit traditional bathrooms, but requires manual removal of the plug.

Bathroom sink wastes are generally a standard size in Australia, with most basins designed to suit common waste fittings. However, the waste outlet size still needs to match the plumbing connection below the basin.

A bathroom sink waste is typically 32mm, which is the standard size used for most basins. A 40mm waste is more commonly used for kitchen sinks and higher-flow fixtures. If you are unsure of your plumbing connection, purchase a universal waste, which is generally designed to adapt to either a 32mm or 40mm plumbing connection, usually by including a reducing bush or a stepped outlet.

You measure a bathroom sink waste by checking the diameter of the waste outlet hole in the basin and confirming the pipe size below the basin. Most bathroom basins will measure 32mm at the waste outlet.

Sink wastes are not all universal, but many modern bathroom sink wastes are sold as universal wastes. A universal sink waste is designed to fit both 32mm and 40mm plumbing connections, usually by using a reducer, which makes it a safe choice when the waste size isn’t known.

However, basin compatibility still matters, as some basins require a waste with an overflow slot, while others need a non-overflow waste.

The disadvantages of a pop-up waste include more internal components, which can trap debris and require occasional cleaning. Pop-up mechanisms can also wear over time compared to simple plug-style wastes.

There are different styles of pop-up sink wastes, including universal, overflow and non-overflow designs, as well as variations in cap shape and finish. These options allow the waste to match both the basin type and the tapware finish.
