Clever Sam

The pop up waste in the en suite has been failing to pop up for some time. Sam fiddled with it a while back and it worked partially but has totally given up the ghost now. She dismantled the mechanism and realized part of it had corroded away. The local plumbing shop could only offer a total replacement at £12.00 so Sam found the bit we needed on line at £5.00 including postage. Before we ordered we decided to pop into the Bath Store and ask if they did the part - the women went out the back and found us what we needed - for free!
The rod was a little longer than the old one so Sam cut it down - five minutes later we had a fully functioning pop up waste again!
