Bathroom Sink Drain Stopper Stuck

A stuck drain stopper in your bathroom sink can be an annoying and inconvenient issue. Fortunately, there are several simple methods you can try to loosen and remove the stopper without resorting to calling a plumber.

First, try to remove the stopper manually. To do this, place a pair of rubber gloves on your hands and grip the stopper firmly. Pull upwards with a gentle but firm force. If the stopper is loose enough, it should come out easily.

If you are unable to remove the stopper manually, you can try using a pair of pliers. Grip the stopper with the pliers and gently twist it back and forth. This should help to loosen the stopper and allow you to remove it.

Another option is to use a vinegar and baking soda solution. Pour a cup of vinegar down the drain followed by a cup of baking soda. The mixture will foam and bubble as it reacts. Let it sit for 30 minutes, then flush the drain with hot water. The baking soda and vinegar mixture can help to dissolve any buildup that may be causing the stopper to stick.

If you have tried all of the above methods and the stopper is still stuck, you can try using a drain snake. A drain snake is a long, flexible tool that can be inserted into the drain to remove any clogs or debris. Insert the drain snake into the drain and gently push it down until it reaches the stopper. Then, turn the drain snake clockwise to loosen the stopper. Once the stopper is loose, you should be able to remove it by hand.

Finally, if none of the above methods work, you may need to call a plumber. A plumber will have the tools and expertise to remove the stuck drain stopper quickly and safely.
