Pop-up vs plug: the quick comparison

• Pop-up: easy push-button open/close, cleaner look

• Plug: simple and familiar, but easier to misplace

• Pop-up is often easier to keep tidy around the basin

What to measure

• Basin waste hole size

• Overflow requirement (does your basin have one?)

• Finish (chrome/brass) to match taps
