Tub Drains

Keep your tub in top shape with high-quality drains. Our universal kits offer durability and efficiency for a hassle-free bathing experience.

About Tub Drains

PlumbTile's Tub Drains collection gathers the hardware that completes a bathtub installation: bath waste and overflow assemblies, drain trim, and the rough-in kits that freestanding tubs require. Choose from toe-tap, cable-operated, trip-lever, and push-style mechanisms in solid brass and durable PVC, sold with or without an integrated overflow. With more than 200 drain assemblies from a dozen manufacturers, including Mountain Plumbing, Jaclo, and Kohler, it is easy to coordinate the visible trim with the rest of your bath hardware instead of settling for a builder-grade chrome plate.

Why Choose Tub Drains

A tub drain is one of the few plumbing parts you see and touch every day, so the right assembly matters for both function and longevity. A quality waste and overflow kit seals reliably where the tub meets the plumbing, protects against accidental overfill, and operates smoothly for years. Mechanism choice is mostly about convenience: toe-tap drains close with a press of the foot, cable-operated designs move the control up to the overflow plate, and classic trip-lever assemblies suit traditional baths. Freestanding tubs have their own requirements, and purpose-built rough-in kits keep the waste connection serviceable while presenting clean, finished trim.

What to Look For

Size and fit: confirm the listed drain diameter against your existing plumbing before ordering, since 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch fittings are both common, and cable-operated drains are offered in specific lengths to match tub depth. Material: solid brass assemblies deliver the longest service life in daily use, while PVC versions keep weight and cost down. Overflow: decide whether you need a complete waste and overflow kit or a drain without overflow, an option many freestanding and overflow-free tubs call for. Finish: pick drain and overflow trim that matches your tub filler and accessories so the whole bath reads as one coordinated suite. Installation type: alcove and drop-in tubs use standard assemblies, while freestanding tubs typically call for a dedicated rough-in kit with a finished trim cover.
