Drain Guard — Pop-Up Basin Drain with Steel Hair Filter

Drain cleaner doesn't remove the hair. That's why it clogs again.

The chemical burned a narrow channel straight through the middle of the hair and soap build-up. The blockage is still there, still packed against the pipe wall, still catching everything that goes past it. The channel closes. You buy another bottle.

You can keep dissolving a hole through the problem every few weeks. Now you can stop it from ever forming.

It catches the hair before the pipe ever sees it

The Drain Guard replaces the pop-up waste in your bathroom basin. A 304 stainless steel mesh basket sits below the stopper and holds back hair, soap fragments and grit, so nothing accumulates further down where you can't reach it.

Press the top to seal the basin. Press again to drain. Lift the basket out once a week, empty it, drop it back.

• 304 stainless steel filter basket — the part doing the work is steel, so it won't soften or degrade in constant water
• ABS body with a copper core — the bounce mechanism is metal where it takes the load
• Push-to-seal stopper — fill the basin or drain it without a lever or linkage to seize up
• Fits standard basin drains — 60mm flange, 80mm basket depth

The catch

A plumber's call-out for a blocked basin typically runs $150 or more, and they'll be back when it happens again. A bottle of drain cleaner is $8 and buys you a few weeks.

The Drain Guard is a one-time $28, and the blockage doesn't form in the first place.

Questions people ask

Will it fit my sink?
It's built for standard bathroom basin drain openings.

Is it hard to install?
No, you're removing the existing pop-up waste and fitting this in its place. No plumber required, no pipework touched.

Will the mesh rust?
The basket is 304 stainless, which is the grade used for sinks and cookware precisely because it sits in water.

What about the smell?
Most basin odour comes from build-up rotting inside the pipe. Nothing accumulates there, so there's nothing to rot.
