Never thought I would end up here, but damn your video was a life saver, putting qualified plumber on my resume after that ordeal, thanks a lot king
Awesome, no problem 😃 Glad you got it sorted
Just to let you know why your video is brilliant. You didn’t just help us solve the problem, but also prevent it to happen in the future! Thanks so much!
Thanks Vincent! I appreciate the kind words 😊
This happened to me- I had to do this all alone single mum! This was so helpful as I had no one around to help me! Just followed your steps and did it in seconds!
Super, I'm so glad it worked out for you. Good on you for giving it a go! Saves calling out a plumber 🪠 😊
I have a husband who just left the sink full of water; I had to you tube this video so I could empty it.
@@dylanmarley1I am one of those husbands! Will give this a go 2mr
Worked a treat for me too. Thanks, a million. Saved me heaps of money
You tube is replacing us guys 😅
Thanks, Mark - very satisfying to complete the job so quickly and easily. Much appreciated.
Awesome, no problem Graham 😀
Thank You Mark, you saved my night. My sink stopper stuck at night and I followed your step, and it works! I saw few other videos and thankfully I found yours, and I found U section down there in my place in Australia.
Awesome, glad it worked out for you!
thank you Mark you saved this pensioner a lot of money. it was easy. there did not seem to be anything clogged up there, however I gave it a wipe clean, & a spray with WD40 anyway. & I remembered to put a container underneath to catch the water . Thanks again cheers Helen.
Awesome Helen! Glad it worked for you! 👍😊
You couldn’t have explained/showed that any better. I nominate this for a Golden Plunger for DYI plumbing video of the year
Thanks 😀
Thank you thank you! It saved me the expense of a plumber AND it was just before an open house which would have been a disaster. My first plumbing job ever as an elderly granny and I fixed it thanks to you. :)
Awesome! Glad it worked out 😁
Thank you very much for showing how to fix this. I'm not very talented when it comes to household repairs. I just got one step closer because of you 😊
Awesome, that's great. Glad to hear 🙂
oh my, thank you so much for this, i don’t think i ever would have fixed this, i always saw that other videos had a lever thing attaching to the drain, and mine doesn’t have that, and this video literally saved me get my new earring that fell in the drain that i don’t think i ever would have gotten, so thanks to you!! 🙏 (didn’t realize i wrote a lot, sorry!)
That's great, I'm so glad! 😊👍
I watched a few videos on how to fix my stuck sink stopper but yours was the only one that worked thank you so much & I cleaned it as well to help avoid it happening again
Awesome, glad it worked!
That's good, hopefully it'll be sorted for good 😊
Thanks for the video. The tips about turning plug anti-clockwise to unscrew actually did it for us. Got it off without having to get under the sink!
Awesome, glad it worked 😁
Thank you so much for this video!!! It really helped me after several times tried another way. You don't know how grateful I am
That's awesome, no problem. Glad you were able to get it sorted 👍😊
You're a real life saver. My dad died two years ago and my mum works a lot so i didn't want to add to her work stress. Thank you so much!! I managed to fix it all alone! I gained a little more confidence and another emotional experience xd
That's awesome, I'm so glad you were able to get it sorted. Go you! 👍😃

Thank you Thank you Mark, our pop up drain was jammed closed and due to watching your video & a quick call to our plumber (our drain is a P trap) I was able to fix this, the WD 40 was excellent would not have thought to do that either!!
Awesome! Glad you could get it fixed 🙂
Good tip. It worked perfectly. Thank you.
Awesome 👍
Thank you so much!!!! You are a life saver.

Very clear and helpful. Your lucky partner having a practical minded person in the house
Thanks, I appreciate it 😊
Thank you 🙏 very much. You have really helped Me. I am a single mom not by choice😊. I had to learn to fix things around on my own. When I call for professional help, they always take advantage as soon as they arrive in the gated community they see the property and the cars in the drive away they become greedy and over charge Me for repairs, I have to rely on such videos to fix things on my own. I truly appreciate Your video. God bless You. Sending You lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤
No problem! Glad you were able to get it sorted 😁
Back at you from Western Australia 🦘 🇦🇺

Brilliant, it worked, Jimmy from Ireland 🇮🇪 😊
That's great to hear. Thanks Jimmy 👍😊
@mark_makes_ thanks for the reply, Jimmy 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪👍😊☺️
Thank you so much I actually was able to pull the lip up with a screwdriver and then when she showed me how to twist the top off because I had a pedestal sink up against the wall and I wasn’t able to reach the guts underneath so I had a cap of a plastic a little twisty piece for him Moisturizing eyedrops that got stuck and it wedged it and once I screwed that top off that was the problem the drain was completely clean. Everything was functioning properly but thank you for the video save me a heartache and I was so proud I was able to fix it myself with your help, of course!!!!
Awesome 👍
Just fixed mine ... Thank you so much!!
Great! Problem solved 😁

Ahhhh thank you! I moved into a new house and the sink was stuck like this. This was so easy to follow, but I did have the displeasure of having to clean someone’s caked in hair 🤢
Oh no! Horrible 😞 Glad it's all fixed!
Thank you 🙏
No problem!
Thank you I fixed the sink
Great! 🙂
Thanks buddy
No problem!

Tried a bunch of dumn tiktok hacks because i was scared of touching the plumbing and nothing worked. This helped me feel calm about dealing with the situation and literally solved my issues in seconds
Awesome, that's great! Good old UA-cam pulled through 😆
Thank you 🥹
You're welcome 😁
Cheers mate
No problem 👍
Just... Thank you
😊👍
Thank you..will try this method or recommend it to the owner of the airbnb I am staying at....arrgh
Hopefully the issue is sorted!
Hey Mark, my pop-up drain has a bobby pin stuck in it, so that the pop up is pushed down, and jammed against a bobby pin I can’t pull out. Will this technique apply to my sink?
Yea, I think it should still work 👍
Thanks for the tutorial, unfortunately I broke the whole plug with the excess force below using a screwdriver. It was very stuck, then boom the whole plug busted out and had snapped off at base. At least I have the drainage hole open now.
😬 oh dear! Sorry to hear, hope you get it sorted.
Hi Mark and many thanks, but I found that I never needed to remove the trap, I just lightly tapped a small piece of wood onto the chrome plug from above a few times and it sprung up 👍
Cool, glad you found a solution and got it sorted 👍
Thank you, that fixed it! Also made me appreciate plumbers more (gah very gross!)
No problem. Haha yea, maybe that's why they charge so much! 😏
I have one that keeps getting stuck. I popped off the elbow under the sink and freed the stopper. I have replaced the pop up mechanism and the stopper STILL sticks! What can be the problem?
Good question. I'm sorry, I think that might be a bit about my pay grade. 🙁
I fixed 2 of them last week. It is due to the mechanism having corrosion in the track within the pins for locking up an down. Just remove the spring assembly, disassemble it, clean it, remove rust using steel wool, reassemble, lubricate and put back in place. It will take you 20 minutes. No need to buy a new drain plug.
Awesome
