When it comes to redesigning your bathroom, you’ll want to upgrade certain accessories including the tiles, faucets, and even the drains. A brand new faucet won’t look complete without an equally impressive matching drain. You’ll want to look for a drain that is easy to clean, offers positive drainage and won’t corrode or rust. Your basic sink and bathtub drains operate with rubber stoppers and come available in copper, brass, stainless steel and chrome finishing. Shower stall drains don’t require a rubber stopper and have a finer grid strainer to prevent larges amounts of hair and dirt from passing through into the drain pipes. If you’re looking for a drain with old-time charm, then considered installing a pop-up drain in your bathroom sink. These drains function by lifting up a medal rod in between the faucet handles which closes the drain. To open again, simply push down on the rod. These types of drain add a touch of elegance to a bathroom and work especially well with pedestal sinks. Yet another style is the lift and turn drains which function exactly as they sound. If you’re feeling really creative then you can purchase a decorative drain cover in the shape of the sun, a heart or any other imaginable creature. Basic bathroom drains should only cost between $20 and $50.
