How To Replace A Delta Bathroom Sink Stopper

Replacing a Delta bathroom sink stopper is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. If the stopper is broken or damaged, it can cause water to leak from the sink. Replacing the stopper will help to prevent leaks and keep your sink functioning properly.

There are a few different types of Delta bathroom sink stoppers, so it is important to identify the type of stopper that you have before beginning the replacement process. The most common type of stopper is a pop-up stopper, which is held in place by a spring. Other types of stoppers include lift-and-turn stoppers and toe-touch stoppers.

Instructions

Turn off the water supply to the sink. This is typically done by turning the handle on the water supply valves located under the sink.
Open the drain to allow any water to drain from the sink.
Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the nut that holds the stopper in place. The nut is typically located on the underside of the sink.
Pull the stopper out of the drain. If the stopper is stuck, you may need to use a flashlight to see inside the drain and locate the spring. Once you have located the spring, use a screwdriver to push down on it and release the stopper.
Insert the new stopper into the drain. Align the stopper with the spring and push down on the stopper until it snaps into place.
Tighten the nut that holds the stopper in place. Do not overtighten the nut.
Turn on the water supply to the sink and check for leaks. If there are any leaks, tighten the nut further.
