How to choose the right overflow ring

An overflow ring is the small round cover fitted over a basin's overflow opening - the safety channel that lets water drain away if a tap is left running with the plug in. Not every basin uses a separate overflow ring; some have the overflow moulded directly into the ceramic or stone, while others use a removable ring fitting, which is what this range covers. Check whether your basin has a removable overflow cover before ordering a replacement or colour-matched ring, since a moulded-in overflow can't be swapped.

Overflow rings are most often bought to replace a damaged or discoloured original, or to upgrade the finish to match a basin renovation - for example, fitting a matte black ring to coordinate with new matte black tapware and a waste. Solid brass construction holds up well to constant water exposure without corroding. Because the ring simply sits over the overflow opening, fitting is straightforward, though it's worth confirming the ring diameter matches your basin's overflow cutout before ordering.
