How to Remove a Tub Drain
1. Prepare the Area
Clear the tub and dry the surface so you can work safely.
2. Remove the Drain Cover
Use a screwdriver to take off the cover. If stuck, lift gently with pliers.
3. Loosen the Drain
Insert the tub drain remover tool and turn counterclockwise. For corroded drains, spray lubricant around the edges and wait a few minutes before trying again.
4. Clean the Opening
Once the drain is out, check for clogs or damage. Clean the area well before installing the replacement.
Real Job Example – Easton, PA
We recently replaced a 45-year-old rotted tub drain for a homeowner in Easton. The drain had broken apart, and standard methods failed. Using a tub drain remover tool, we removed the old piece and installed a Made-in-America Watco Tippy Toe drain. The new drain was durable, reliable, and solved the issue on the spot.
