Product review

Upgraded universal tub drain stopper and matching cover designed for quick removal and hassle-free cleaning. The kit includes the tip-toe stopper, a cover plate, and two sizes of O-rings so you can choose the seal that fits your drain.
Compatible with the vast majority of older drain mechanisms, it replaces lift-and-turn, tip-toe and trip-lever styles. The two O-ring sizes accommodate 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" openings to match standard tub drains.
Made from solid brass with a tarnish-resistant finish, the stopper is built for durability and a polished appearance that coordinates with spouts and faceplates. Installation is a drop-in process that does not require removing the existing drain body, plumber’s putty, or special tools.
The cover fully conceals the old drain while allowing water to be retained or released with a simple press in the center. The unit is easy to lift out for debris removal and routine cleaning, helping prevent hair and gunk from entering the drain pipe.

Pros

  • Fits most common tub drains (1-3/8" and 1-1/2")
  • Solid brass construction with tarnish-resistant finish
  • Tool-free, drop-in installation and easy cleaning

Cons

  • May slow water release compared with pop-up designs
  • Some tubs may need the thicker O-ring for a tight seal
  • Not compatible with specialty or non-standard drains

VerdictA straightforward replacement that seals reliably, fits most standard tubs, and simplifies opening/closing with a single center press. Durable brass build and included O-rings make it a low-effort upgrade for leaking or dated stoppers; installs without special tools and is simple to maintain.

Reviews

  1. Paul 5/5

    Reliable and well built

    The construction feels solid and it functions as expected. The directions were clear, installation was straightforward, and it traps hair before it goes down the pipe.

  2. Wildcats 5/5

    Matches fixtures nicely

    Works well and looks good beside the faucet and shower hardware. No problems so far.

  3. Andrea 4/5

    Does the job

    Fits well and was quick to install. Keeps the water in and is easy to remove for cleaning.

  4. Zack 5/5

    Tiny unit, big result

    This slid right into place and seals perfectly. It looks tidy in the tub and holds water without fuss. Exactly what I needed to stop worrying about leaks.

  5. Bernadette 5/5

    Great addition for renters

    Simple to install with no tools and a clean appearance. I put one in each bathroom and they’ve caused no issues — a smart choice when you can’t renovate.

  6. MayneGang 5/5

    Performs as expected over time

    Used it for about a year and it still seals tightly. It doesn’t trap as much hair as I feared, the finish holds up, and it cleans up nicely.

  7. Laura Dumitrov 5/5

    Well-made and user-friendly

    Installation was quicker than I thought. The tip-toe mechanism glides smoothly, the universal fit replaced my old piece without fuss, and water drains efficiently when released.

  8. Jason K. 5/5

    Huge improvement — leak-free and easy to clean

    Installation was uncomplicated and it formed a proper seal right away. The tip-toe action is handy, and debris doesn’t cling like it did to my old lift-and-turn stopper. Durable and attractive finish.

  9. Fredricka 4/5

    Solid product

    I expected a little label or direction printed on it, but otherwise it works great. I replaced the old stopper myself and my partner was impressed when they saw it.

  10. Fit-n-2012 5/5

    Completely pleased with the swap

    My old side-push stopper was unreliable and eventually popped out. I cleaned the area and dropped this replacement in — installation took under a minute. The center-press action works consistently and no longer requires wiggling to catch.

  11. Annie Dumas 5/5

    Looks sharp and seals well

    Wanted brushed nickel to match the faucet and this fits and seals perfectly. Easy to install and remove for cleaning; quality seems excellent.

  12. Aiden 5/5

    Perfect for rentals

    Covers an unsightly drain without damaging finishes and opens/closes easily. It hasn’t held onto hair like I worried it might. Quick to install and use.

  13. dramadharma 5/5

    Good alternative to rubber plugs

    I swapped out flimsy rubber stoppers for this and it fits nicely and stops the water. Draining is slower than a pop-up, so I usually remove it to speed release, but it looks much better.
