Sink Chains

The sink chain that connects a bath or basin plug to its overflow fitting is a small but frequently needed replacement item - chains wear, corrode, or simply become detached over time, leaving a plug that must be retrieved from the drain each time. At the DIY Hardware Store, our sink chains cover the standard ball-link, jack-link, and beaded chains used in bath plugs, basin plugs, and kitchen sink waste fittings across UK domestic properties.

Sink chains are available in several link types: ball-link chain is the standard for bath plugs, consisting of a series of small chrome or brass balls joined by short wire links; jack-chain is a heavier-duty alternative used in kitchen sinks; beaded chain suits lighter decorative applications. All are available in chrome and brass finishes, with lengths cut to standard bath and basin chain lengths.

Replacement chains are attached to the plug via a small stay or plug pin, and to the overflow cover plate via a threaded eye fitting. Available at the DIY Hardware Store in standard lengths with appropriate end fittings for most UK bath and basin waste configurations.
