    Kitchen sink overflow cover

    Hi. The cover has come off the overflow pipe on my kitchen sink. It was looking very tarnished anyway, so needs replacing. Can I buy any cover or does it have to be a certain type? I have attached a photo of the overflow in question. Many thanks Rachel

    Kitchen sink leak
