Replace Tub Overflow Plate When Replacing Tub Stopper

When replacing a new bathtub stopper, don’t forget about your bathtub overflow plate. The overflow plate is a safety feature which prevents water from spilling out over the tub in case it should overflow.  The bathtub overflow plate provides a means for water to flow back to the drainpipe instead of making a big mess and ruining your floor.

Just like a bathtub drain or stopper, the overflow plate can become old and corroded and just plain dingy looking. If you are repairing or replacing your bathtub drain cover and stopper, don’t forget about installing a matching overflow plate for a new tub finished look. New products on the market provide the easiest installation method available, allowing do-it-yourselfers to replace bathtub drain covers, stoppers and overflow plates in minutes.
