Kitchen sink plugs & strainers
After a long stint at the kitchen sink, the last thing any of us wants to do is to fumble around in the plughole scooping out the day’s leftovers. When you’ve finished washing up and pulled out the kitchen sink plug, all sorts of bits of food can collect inside the plughole - or even further down the drain - and before you know it, there’s a blockage to deal with.
To prevent plunger-prompting problems, kitchen sink strainers are just the thing. Designed to sit neatly in or on top of the plughole, they allow water to drain away and catch any bits of food in the process. We’ve got a great range to choose from, in different sizes, and from top brands like OXO Good Grips, so we’re confident you’ll find something suitable for your sink here at Lakeland.
Drainer designs
When you’re browsing kitchen sink plug strainers, there are a few things worth considering before parting with your cash. With different sizes to choose from, you’ll want to invest in a plughole stopper that suits a small or a large sink. Look out for a silicone rim too, to help hold the strainer in place. Consider whether you want to be able to use your plughole drainer in the kitchen or in the bathroom - or both. Some plughole drainers are suitable for one or the other, but you’ll find some in our range designed to do both. And finally, for longevity, you might want to choose a sink strainer made from stainless steel: it won’t rust, so should give you years of use.
All washed up
If you use a washing up bowl in your sink and don’t want to have to clean both the bowl and the sink every time you do the dishes, we’ve got just the thing. In our washing up bowl range you’ll find some super-efficient washing up bowls with built-in plugs and drainers, so you can cut down on the time you spend cleaning after washing up. Wash and Drain washing up bowls from top brands like Joseph Joseph have an integral plug, which doubles as a food catcher and helps prevent blockages. Ideal for use at the kitchen sink, these brilliant bowls have convenient carry handles and are even compact enough for camping trips.
Shower power
Plughole drainers aren’t just designed for use with the kitchen sink; these versatile little strainers are brilliant for the bathtub, too. While it’s natural to shed some hair every day, yanking great strands from the plughole isn’t a pleasant experience - especially if it’s clumped together with shampoo or conditioner. In these situations, it’s less a case of pulling a few stray hair from the plughole and more like a tug of war, but it needn’t be with an effective strainer. Lots of the sink drainers in our range are suitable for the bathroom, so whether it’s a wet shave over the bathroom sink or a hot shower, you can catch hair before it reaches the plughole and cut back on the cleaning.
