Recognize and Repair Bathtub Stopper Problems

Bathtub stoppers do a very important job that we may take for granted until they stop to function correctly.  Tub stoppers should be cleaned regularly to remove any clogged hair or soap scum that has accumulated. A tub stopper that is not maintained regularly may begin to malfunction as a buildup of materials or a blockage will prevent it from allowing adequate water flow and it may not hold water like it should.

Even a well maintained tub stopper is subjected to wear and tear that could affect the rubber seal.  If the rubber seals becomes cracked or worn out it will not seal the tub drain properly and will allow water to drain out when it shouldn’t.  In some cases, it may be possible to clean and adjust your stopper, although a worn out tub stopper should just be replaced.
