So, the drain is plastic. It is the plastic speed connect drain from American Standard. We had no clue that we would run in to this problem. How do we go about getting a brass drain? There are metal speed connect drains from American Standard -- would that remedy the problem, or is it also an...

The sink drain stopper is fully up. Hmm, I'll try to explain the best I can. When we run the water, the water does drain easily; however, there is always a ring of water that gets caught around the drain (the part of the drain that is in direct contact with the sink) -- the drain is not flat to...

My husband installed a new faucet in our bathroom sink. The faucet looks great, however, when we run the water, it does not drain completely, but rather pools around the bottom of the sink. It's a small amount of water, but nonetheless, it's annoying. Is there something we are doing wrong?

It turns out that the black was from the corrosion of the Moen drain fixture. My husband removed it yesterday, and it was quite evident that the metal was corroding. He put a new one in with plumber's putty and other than a little putty that needs to be cleaned up, it' done! Thank you all for...

I'm not sure if it is the finish. It seems to be coming from under the silver part of the drain that is in direct contact with the tub. At this point, I really don't know whether to contact a plumber, or have my husband attempt to take apart the drain. It's tough to know what to do on a tight...

How much would it be to replace it? It's so frustrating. The fixtures in the house are very cheap. We were going to replace all of the faucets, but we never fathomed we'd replace the bathtub drain. My husband has never replaced a bathtub drain. He's very handy though. I'm not sure if he should...

I've looked up toe touch stopper, and I don't think that is what we have. In order to pop the stopper up and down, you have to push and pull a lever on the spout in the bathtub.

I am not sure what a Toe-Touch, pop-up drain stopper is, since I am really inept at anything plumbing, but I can tell you that every plumbing item in this house is made by moen. Because I am so horrible at explaining anything in terms of plumbing, I'm going to show you via picture where the...

Now I am really confused. Ok, here are the pictures I posted before for identification. The black around the drain is remarkably better than typical, since it was after a lengthy session of scrubbing. Whenever we Tilex the bathtub, it gets worse. I have no clue if it is the rubber gasket...

The house is five years old. The tub is on the second floor, so I know we'd be able to see a major leak if it happened. I am more concerned about the potential of a minor leak that is not as obvious. I have no clue why the gasket would be worn so much. If the black is not the gasket, I am not...

I posted a week ago about a black ring around the shower drains in the home we moved in to. Not knowing that was causing it, I tried using Tilex on a couple occasions in an attempt to clean it up. When that didn't work, I posted on this forum board and was informed that it may be the rubber...

I'm really not sure how to tell if they are or not. I do know that the house was built in 2003, so I'm not sure if that will help or not. The tub itself is one piece with the shower, if that makes sense -- there is fake grout. We are dealing with a leak in one of the tubs. Four days after moving...
