2 Sink & Plughole Strainers

Looked everywhere for one small enough to fit my washbasin - plughole has 6cm external diameter (incl surround) and 3.5cm internal diameter. The small Lakeland one fits perfectly. It is much easier to find the larger ones to fit *baths*, but it is useful to have a spare. The large Lakeland one fits my bath plughole, which is 7cm/4.5cm. The strainers are hard at work trapping hairs and soap-slime which would have clogged the waste-trap. Glad to say that they really are of stainless steel, in contrast to some dull metal ones from a rival seller which I had to return as they rusted in days!

I have taken these to my caravan for the kitchen and shower. Have used similar products for years and still give good service. I believe they are a must to stop blocked drains when cooking or washing hair. Easy to clean.

I have used these strainers for many years and they always help to keep the sink drainage from getting clogged with small debris.

These simple little strainers are great. I wish I'd discovered them earlier. Holes small enough to stop items which may block drains but large enough to let water drain easily. To those who have rated the product poorly because it does not fit their plughole, I say you should have measured your plughole before buying. The product is exactly as specified. I use small one in bathroom sink and large one in kitchen sink.

I bought two sets of these and very happy with the two small ones in the bathroom basin sinks and the larger one in the kitchen sink. Not so happy with the second larger one as it's not fine enough to stop my hair going down the bath plughole and is not as good in the laundry sink as the old wire mesh one which stops the vast majority of hair including pet hair going down the drain when I wash out the condenser from the tumble dryer every fortnight. Could your buying team look into getting the very fine mesh ones back please, to compliment these?

Unlike some other comments about this item not fitting properly, water not draining away etc. I have found this item does exactly what I wanted. The large one fits my bath plug hole perfectly and catches the hair etc. which would otherwise go down the drain.

I bought this to replace the Dossil I bought to catch hair in the bath - the Dossil wouldn't stay put and was worse than useless - these strainers are definitely better at catching hair, but seriously restrict the water escaping, meaning I end up ankle deep in water five minutes into my shower - ugh! Lakeland, I'd love to see you develop something specifically for hair, as I don't think this or the Dossil are designed for that.

Due to the light weight of this product it sometimes gets dislodged e.g. when you pour in a whole saucepan of water that has been soaking. And for washing hair - it allows hair to go down. The older mesh style did not allow hair to pass and being heavier did not dislodge. Bring back the oder sytle.

I wish I'd spent my money on a different product. I bought these to replace some plastic ones. They don't have enough holes/ wide enough holes and the water just backs up in my bath and sink, so I end up having to remove them which rather defeats the point of having them. On the plus side, they are metal not plastic. But they are a total pain in our house, not really helping the issue at all. I would suggest they need to be raised over the plug hole, not receding into it so that the water can flow through.

It would have been helpful if the size of these sink strainers were included on the web page. Even the large one is too small for my sink. Will be giving them to someone who can use them

Brilliant little drain covers but I find it very difficult to lift them out to put the debris in the bin. Maybe the edges could be raised a bit? I end up clearing them with my fingers.

No more blocked sinks! My kitchen sink came with a strainer but it is nowhere near as good as this little strainer it catches every bit of debris. I have only used the large one as it fits perfectly. I don't agree with a previous review that it needs to be wider because it then would not fit my sink! In-conclusion I would advise to check the measurements that Lakeland provides. So well done Lakeland another Superb item.

Bought this as a replacement but it is not wide enough. It stops the debris going down but it needs to be overall wider so that you can lift up the debris and put in the rubbish bin. Cleaned up well in the dishwasher though.

These are great, I have had trouble with ill-fitting strainer plugs in my kitchen sink for years, but these are just the job! I know it might sound a bit odd raving about sink strainers, but they really have impressed me!
