Bath Wastes That Finish Your Tub with Style and Reliability
A bath waste is the final touch that keeps water where you want it and completes the look of your tub surround. Buildmat’s bath wastes combine smooth drainage with finishes that match your bathroom tapware, so every element of your bathroom renovation feels deliberate and cohesive.
Design Appeal
Choose from sleek click-clack pop-ups to classic, functional plug-and-chain sets, each echoing your bath’s silhouette while maintaining clean, uncluttered lines. Ergonomic push-buttons, knurled twist knobs, or minimalist overflow covers all add tactile satisfaction to daily soaking rituals.
Materials & Durability
Brass and 304 stainless steel bodies are plated or PVD-coated for corrosion, scratch, and mineral buildup resistance. Heavy-duty seals and smooth threads deliver drip-free performance year after year—no sticking or slow drains.
Compatibility & Installation
Available in standard 40 mm and 50 mm configurations to suit most freestanding or inset bathtubs. Each waste ships with gaskets and locknuts for a straightforward, tool-light install, simply tighten from below and you’re watertight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most Australian baths use either a 40 mm or 50 mm waste. Measure the outlet hole or check your tub’s spec sheet before ordering. If you’re replacing an old unit, simply match the existing diameter—Buildmat wastes are available in both sizes for an easy swap-in fit.
Yes. As long as the new waste matches your bath’s outlet size and thread length, a click-clack will screw straight into the existing hole. Just apply fresh plumber’s putty under the flange, tighten the locknut from below, and you’re done—no extra plumbing required.
Wipe the waste cover weekly with a soft cloth and mild soapy water; avoid abrasive pads or citrus cleaners that can dull plated or PVD coatings. Every few months, unscrew the plug or pop-up cartridge to clear hair and soap build-up, then re-seat it for a perfect seal.
