How to Replace a Bathtub Drain 🛁

This video is a step by step instruction on how to replace a bathtub drain.

If your tub begins to drain slowly or stops draining completely, it has probably become blocked by something. If chemicals don’t help, you will need to remove the drain and unblock it yourself. And you might need to remove the old drain to replace it with a new one.

Of course, you can call in a professional plumber, like us at Maple Ridge Plumber to do it for you. However, removing a drain is a rather simple task, and you might be able to DIY.

That is why we complied a video for you, showing you exactly how it is done in a step by step tutorial!

Hello I know this video is from 6 years ago, but I wanted to let you know that I just changed out my tub stopper following your instructions! Just wanted to say thank you 😊!!

[baconbutty]

I had a plumber in to replace a couple of sinks and toilets. I asked him about the drain. He said it was a big job as he would have to 'remove the entire bathtub to do it'. I now realize he just didn't want to be bothered. What a BS artist! Thanks for the easy to follow video. You're one of the good guys! ♥🇨🇦

Just switched from the old lever drain stop to the touch toe drain stop. I have never done a drain related job before I always got a plumber and never gave it a second thought. I just saved roughly $100 as I was quoted $140 by a local plumber. Take care of yourselves everybody
Great video!!!

[BryanTangren]

quick and easy. no wasted time with backstory or other fluff. great stuff, thanks so much!

As someone that recently started doing handyman's work around the house, this was really helpful. Thank you so much!

This video saved me a ton of money. I spent $10 for the barbell drain removal tool and $19.99 for the bathtub drain. Thank you!

My mother is 90 and lives in another state. Her bathtub drain was leaking water so she called a plumber and he replaced the bathtub drain like you just did and the bill totaled $285.00. Thank you for posting this informative video.

Im glad you mentioned the rubber gasket cause I wasn't sure if I needed to replace mine or not. Thank You!

[annhaefner]

I am so jazzed that I replaced this myself with the wonderful video that I'm going to try replacing a sink faucet next.

[txskid]

Thank you for your step-by-step video. I was able to replace mine in 10 minutes and saved $357.00. And I am not the most mechanical person.

Thank you again! I even took pics.

This was so helpful. My first DIY plumber repair was a success thanks to this simple video.

Thank you for posting such a simple and easy to follow video. A quick trip to the hardware store and literally 5 minutes later pop up tub drain is fixed. I can’t thank you enough!!

[mandabear]

Tried to use the barbell removal tool for the replacement on my drain and had to look for a drain key-type tool instead. Wound up getting a Tub Drain Extractor to take the old drain out. As far as presentation - this was a great video for showing the process of replacing a drain. I had to look up additional help for replacing an older, corroded drain. Perhaps a 2.0 to include some variables you'll run into? Thanks for the video Maple Ridge Plumber!

OMG, my tub hasn't worked for 2 years because of my drian. I had no idea, maybe now I can try to fix this on my own. I'm also in Maple Ridge. THX

Have used the this video in the past with great success, but this time I struggled for a half an hour until I realized there were two sizes of pipe fitting screwed into one another and the larger one would never fit my drain!🤣. Next time it’ll only take five minutes! Thank you for the concise and confidence-building video!

[drewo]

Made it easy to change the drain and save some money. Literally took 5 mins. Good info, thanks!

[Midwest-Eskimo]

Long-haired lady that used a cheap, plastic, barbed hair removal tool and some of it broke off into the drain. I need to remove this drain 🤦🏾‍♀️This helps so much. 🙌🏾

[dragonfly]

Well done. Thanks for the short, to-the-point instructions. I already have a money pit in this 80-year old house! Need to find as many price cuts as necessary.

[thrivinglightworkerbrittne]

So grateful for hot guys who make diy tutorials! I can totally do this 💪

[chrysanthemum]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It was exactly what I was looking for 💜
