Good Evening folks - our pop up plug has now broken and I’m wondering what is needed to fix the issue - cheers

Doesn’t pop up no and the only way to get it off is to unscrew anti clockwise- effectively when I screw it back on it’s locked down

Try some descaler (Viakal or similar) and a bit of pressing down and wiggling. Used to work wonders in my days as a cleaner.

Still no luck unfortunately - is this part of the unit or plug?

Can I just get the spring part with a pair of tweezers and then replace that with your link? I’ve managed to get it up as shown however it always locks in to place when pressed down

Just undo the brass part and replace with the one in my link

Am I being stupid as it’s not budging if I twist it or pull it

You have to undo it anti-clockwise you can grip it with the flats on the top
