Fast Fix a
You fixed it in 3 minutes, over achiever!
Seven years ago, and you are still helping people today. Great quick video and it will live on for many years to come 😎
Hello. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment. I really appreciate it! Yes, let’s hope this video last a long time and hopes many more folks save money. Take care and thanks for commenting!
@@FastFixUA-cam I am cleaning up a friend’s house to help sell, and there was a broken plunger, but then when cleaning another sink, that plunger broke as well, with zero effort, just snapped, in a spare bathroom which has not really been used in some years… AND on that sink the tip of the rod past the ball had corroded off too short to catch a new plunger, so all the sudden I am the DIY hero who understood what to buy and how to replace it! I truly appreciate you because we really did not want to make this too difficult or costly. Much love to you 💪
TY ! As a widow I have had to learn to be a handy person. Your video really helped me do a repair that would have cost a fortune to have it professionally fixed.
Carol Underwood I love to read comments like yours. I’m very glad I could be of some help :)
@@FastFixUA-cam so bad advice
Im going to fix mine as well!
Me, too!
This was really helpful! I fixed it! Do you have a video for doorbells?
I appreciate guys like you putting out “how to repair” videos. Saved me money. I now subscribed to your channel.
Hey, thank you! Appreciate that 👍
So helpful! As a young woman who has no idea about these things, I was able to follow your steps and got it done! Thank you!
Hello. Wonderful, I love to hear that! Good for you for taking on this job and getting it fixed correctly! Well done 👏 👏 👏
Who's watching this video in November 2019? This guy! Thanks for this easy step by step guide!
The nice thing about this video is that it ages well! Haha, thanks for the comment!
@@FastFixUA-cam if it works, it works a year from now, 10 years from now.
This guy! I fixed my sink in less time than it took me to watch the video. Really helped me out!
I'm watching in 2021! Can't wait to fix my sink now!
Great vid! And thanks for speeding up the footage when showing the screwing on of that one component...wish more people understood that we don't need to sit there for 3 minutes watching a guy screw something on. Great angles, great explanation and, hallelujah, NO MUSIC! :)
Lol, exactly! Who needs all the bs and music... just do the job! Glad this helped you and I appreciate the comment 🤙
Thank you! I'm not a handy man by any stretch but wanted to save some money doing this myself. Your video did just that!🙂
You are welcome! I’m happy to hear your success story, great job!
Excellent descriptions. And barelyone "um" , "uh" or "etc..." or unnecessary adjectives said. Very efficient & to the point. Thanks!.
You are welcome! That’s exactly what I was going for. No “um,” “uh,” or anything like that. Glad it transmitted that way!
simple and effective, just wanted to chime in with everyone else saying how great this video is, nicely done!
Arnhem Pictures your comment is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Oh my gosh, THANK YOU for this video. I usually have to spend far too long listening to someone's life story BEFORE they get to the pertinent info. I thought it was going to be a much harder fix! THANK YOU MR. FAST FIX!!!!
Thank you! The channel was started to battle all the videos that had a life story attached to every repair job. Glad you saw the value in the video! Much appreciate the comment 👍
Sir!! Thank you so much. Just followed your handy guide and was able to fix my sink. Now i'm a hero in my household, my wife and kids think i'm super dad :)
Fantastic! Glad this helped you. Maybe they’ll get you a super hero suit! Thanks for the comment 👍
Excellent how to video. I went to hardware store and bought replacement parts for $3. My problem was I was always taught righty-tighty, lefty loosey - but it's the reverse in this case because you're not looking at the fitting from the front. Once I figured that out the repair went well. Thanks!
Malinda Melick haha, yeah I sometimes make that mistake too! Glad you got it fixed! Thanks for the comment :)
Thank you! My stopper has been out for months and I finally got fed up enough to do something about it. You explained everything clearly so it was easy for me to follow along.
Elaine Gutierrez excellent! Glad to hear that. I appreciate the comment 👍
Thank you so much for this video!!! I was able to repair all 3 of my sink stoppers in my house.
Great job! I’m glad this video helped! Thank you for commenting. I really appreciate it 👍👍👍
Want to say thank you for this video, it was quick and to the point. You made me look like a hero to my wife for fixing this. lol
Glen hey thanks for taking the time to comment! It’s great to hear things like this and it helps me keep the channel going. Glad your fix wet well!
Excellent. I’m a single woman and I was able to do by myself without your video I would not have attempted. Thank you so much!!!
Pamela Davis you are very welcome! Have a great day :)
me too, another project handled ;-)
My sink stopper came undone and I ignored it, tried to fix it without any videos, then the little ball came loose and my sink was leaking. I pulled up this video and my sink was fixed in 5 minutes!! Thank you so much Fast Fix :-)
Fantastic! Glad this helped you get it done. I appreciate the comment!
Subscribed because this made my life so much easier. No more googling, no more troubleshooting, you’ve got the answers and present them clearly and quickly. Thank you so much.
You are very welcome! Glad this helped 👍
Thanks so much for the quick, simple to understand video. You allowed me to repair my sink stop on my own and save me $165
Great! Glad it helped and thanks for the comment 👍
Thank you. Went to Lowe's and had this fixed in no time. Figured out where the washer that came with the kit went too. One of the most helpful videos I've ever seen on here.
Thanks, Terence! And if there's one thing I could add to this video it's the washer. Unfortunately, UA-cam doesn't allow editing once the video is uploaded... Glad you were able to sort it out. I appreciate the comment! Take care.
Impressive video and straight to the point. Thank you for not telling us your life story for 10min in the beginning.
Ha! You are very welcome! It’s why I started the channel. Cut the blah blah blah. Thanks for the comment!
This was spot on video and explained what happens inside that ball-mechanism which is what 99% of the people can't show easily! Thanks for the clear explanation.
Right! That’s why I made it. Glad it translated for you. Thanks for the comment!
Best How to video I've seen. Im a 63 YO grandmother, who is not particularly handy and this was easy to follow and effective!
Hello. That’s really nice to hear. Thank you for sharing and nice work getting the repair done on your own 👍👍👍
The cover is at a dumb backwards angle but I got it off and fixed. And my gf is impressed with my hands now. Thanks friend!
Hell ya man anything I can do to help bro’s score points with the gf is the mission of the channel! 🤙🏻 your comment is appreciated!
Thank you so much for this clear, step by step fix! It was so helpful and cost effective to fix this problem myself, with YOUR help! Much appreciated!
You're welcome and I’m glad it helped! Great job repairing yourself and saving cash 👍👍👍
Thank you. Video helped me out. You aimed the camera in just the right spot too! Just a tip, my faucet was 11 yrs old and the part was under warranty. With your video and a phone call, this repair was FREE!
Anita Cordeiro that’s excellent! Great tip! Thanks for the nice words :)
I was so happy to find this video! I'd removed the stopper to clean it and the pipe, to see whether that would help my sink drain better. Another video I'd been following didn't explain how to hook the stopper on the rod. Thanks to your video, my sink is back in business and draining well, and as a side benefit my stopper now has more "range of motion" than it did before. Thank you!
Great to hear that! I’m glad the video helped you. Thanks for the comment!
Having the same issue
I accidentally pulled it off out of anger and now I’m here
Been there! I’ve rage-fixed several things in my house but now I just go outside and yell loudly. The neighbors probably don’t appreciate it...
Thanks, you visualized for me perfectly I knocked out it in under 10min.
Excellent to hear that!👍
Saw this done on “This Old House” and it took 20 minutes. You have saved my patience! Thank you!!
Ha! I completely hear you. So many DIY videos take far too long to get to the point. Thanks for the comment!
I may have watched the exact video of TOH and this 100×'s easier.
Great easy to follow video! I was able to do it myself without any problems. Thank you so much!
Natasha Simone you’re welcome, Natasha! Please subscribe and help me get my channel monetized. I would very much appreciate it ;) thank you!
Thank you so much! The longest part of this process for me was finding the part kit at Home Depot. The rest was a piece of cake thanks to your video! I appreciate you posting this!
Hey there! Hahaha, feel your pain regarding finding the right parts. It’s usually a nightmare. Glad this video helped!
Thank you for making this video! I was just able to fix our sink with the help of your video! I feel so empowered- thank you!!
You are welcome! I’m glad the video helped you. I very much appreciate the nice comment 👍
🤦🏻♀️ I just spent 10 minutes trying put the stopper ⚙️ back on,
just to realize that I’ve been twisting it in the wrong direction.
But eventually got the sink stopper fixed, good video!
Hey, glad it was a simple solution! Haha, I’ve done that before too. Glad you figured it out and thanks for sharing 🤙
Perfect vid. Helped me fix my issue in under 2mins. Thank you! And I appreciate the on-purpose error of forgetting the washer - makes sure folks are paying attention...! Cheers.
Haha, thanks Bijan! Perhaps I need to make a small edit and make sure folks know to use the washer. Glad this video helped you! Cheers.
I have to say, this is the BEST instructional video I have EVER seen! Thanks so much!
karen abercrombie and I have to say this is the best comment I’ve ever read! ;) thanks so much! Glad it was of some help!
LOL. When I removed my bar it looked just like yours! Thanks for the video. Lots of help.
rnjvideo Ha! I wonder what's causing that to happen? I can only guess Drano or some other clog removal system eating away the protective layer, then rust doing the rest. Or maybe just good ole' fashion wear and tear. Glad the video was helpful!
Thanks! This video is just what I needed to repair my drain stopper.
You're welcome!
had this problem for over a year, desided to look it up today at 4am, watched this video to see where to start and see what the problem is, paused the video when i saw your rod broken by the ball, looked at mine, it had the same thing, i took a rubber hammer and some plyers gave it a few wacks, got my rod into the right position, put it all back together and wham problem solved sink plug working again. good video, thanks man i spent zero dollars to fix it.
wayne morris awesome! Doesn’t get much better than that.
Exactly what I was looking for. Not broken but close. Bent at a 45 and almost broken.
Glad this helped!
I must give thanks when it’s due. I was ready to install a whole drain pipe and add a pop up stopper wait until I had time on the weekend and all; this is much more economic and less time consuming. Thank you, sir.
You are welcome! I appreciate the comment. Thank you 👍
Awesome video! So detailed and yet direct with beating around the bush! Thank you, it really helped.
Glad this video helped! I appreciate the comment 👍
Thank you so much for the excellent video! I was able to fix my stopper all by myself.
Me, too. I’m feeling very empowered! 👏🏾😊
Good job! And thank you for the comment 👍👍👍
Well done, my friend. I fixed my wife's sink and she thinks I'm a genius. I will take all of the credit and not let her know that you were the true hero!
🤣🤣🤣 I love it! Yes, take all the praise!
I have never be a handy person but fixed our drain just by following your video by myself. Super easy and informative. Thanks!
Fantastic! Glad to hear that 👍
And you also learned that "rod length DOES matter".
I am caring for my elderly parents in their home and this happened to one of their bathroom sinks. Thanks to your video, I was able to fix it! Thank you so much!
Hello. Wow, that’s very nice of you to care for your parents like that. I’m happy this video helped you in whatever way possible. Kudos for being a great person and thank you for the nice comment 👍
Just to clarify, my wife is the one caring for her parents. She made the comment but my name appeared with the comment. She felt like she really accomplished something when she was able to do this repair.
@@bkunio1 well nice job in any case 👍
This video was really helpful. I fixed this in under 20 minutes, by just following your steps. Thank you.
Great to hear that. Thanks for the comment 👍
Absolutely excellent instructions! You taught this old dog a new trick.
Glad I could help! Take care.
Thank you! I do a lot for myself but have never known how to do this! You saved me from uselessly calling a repair person. This is so easy.
Hello! Glad this helped. Nice job on the fix and thanks for the comment 👍
Fixed mine in a matter of minutes thanks to this video :)
Thrasher305 great to hear! Thanks for the comment :)
Best video on how to do!!!!!!! Saved me sanity tonight.
Excellent instructions spoken at a easy to understand pace***** thanks!
Sam Stray you bet!
Another 👍🏼 for a very easy to follow video. Only thing was my Lowe’s didn’t just have the rod part, I had to buy a whole bundle with the rod/ball, the clamp and thing with the holes and even a piece of a pipe 🙈 next time I’ll look online but I’m expecting company so just wanted to get it done. Had it fixed in 10 min thanks to you!
Nice! That’s record time! Glad this helped and I hope there’s not a next time 😊👍
This video helped a 25 year old girl, who knows nothing about sinks, fix her sink
That’s awesome! I was 32 when I first changed mine. You’re way ahead of the curve. Thanks for the comment!
I was about one minute away from calling a plumber until I saw your splendid video. After getting the part, the whole job took about one-half an hour. I don't know how much I would have spent plus the incredible self satisfaction. You're aces with me!
a1tube my two favorite cards! Thanks so much! Glad this helped ;)
thank you, this took all the stress out of this repair job :)
You’re welcome Julia! Glad this helped 👍
Easiest video I have used for home repairs. Thank you for making this clear and to the point.
You're welcome!
One extra step is needed. Check for leaks. Water will leak right through that ball of not attached right. ALWAYS check for leaks before you put your tools away.
100% right! Easily forgotten unfortunately 👍
Thanks so much. I was able to learn how under the sink works. Had a stopper than wouldn't stay closed. I was able to just tighten the rod screw with my hand and totally saved me frustration and a plumber's visit.
Fantastic! Glad this video helped. Nice work 👍
Very helpful video. Got a universal repair kit from Home Depot and fixed the issue in my bathroom sink in under 10 minutes. Thank you!
Great to hear that! Thanks for the comment 👍
This was a great video. Thank you. This particular kit - the universal didn't work for me. I kept getting leaks thru the threads where the ball is. Also, first my mistake was I didn't put the washer in the correct spot. The old washer had cracked, so I needed to use the new one. Of course, I forgot where it went. So, I put the washer between the ball and the screw nut. This was incorrect! It needs to go washer first which sits kinds in the pipe at the end, then the ball and rod, then the nut screws on. I needed to get the correct size rod instead of the adjustable one since my leaks were coming from the threads in the adjustable rod. Once I replaced that to a fixed ball with rod, no leaks. Thank you for your video!
MomofScout good deal, glad you got it sorted. That is the one part my video is lacking. The installation of the bloody washer. Glad you were able to figure it out. Cheers!
Thank you! Just went back in to add in the washer!
Thanks! Me and my clueless musician boyfriend were able to fix this!! The angle and lighting of your video made it very easy to follow. Thanks again!
Glad to hear! But aren’t rockstars supposed to break things? 🤙🏻
I can’t believe how easy that was. Thank you for making the video and sharing.
You bet! I appreciate the comment 👍
Do you have any idea how many people know how to do things, but have no idea how to explain what they're doing? Many, many. Because you can explain what you're doing, I put my stopper mechanism back together in 3 minutes for this sink that has been draining slowly for months. Now I can stop wasting boiling water and go on to save the world. Thanks!
Ha! Well one boiling pan of water at a time and we’ll stop this climate change thing. Thanks for commenting I sincerely appreciate it 👍
Besides the wall being too close under my sink, this guide was perfect! Feels good to do these things oneself
Nice work!
Thank you for explaining this process so simply!
You’re welcome!
Yes I agree I am now a widow also and of course woke up to a leaky bathroom sink my husband took care of all this stuff now I'm youtubing trying to figure this stuff out on my own. You have no idea how much you have helped me thank you so much!
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing that ☺️👍. Glad this helped you do it yourself! Nice job 👏👏👏
10/10, this was a perfect step by step video that helped me with this exact issue :) great job and thank you!
You are welcome! I appreciate the nice comment :)
Great video. Helped me not have to have the Mrs over my shoulder the entire time. Cheers
Lol, that’s always a bonus! Glad it helped you 👍
Excellent video! Short. Easy to follow.
PS - I’m the least handy man in the history of men, so if I can do it anyone can!
Hello! Haha, well I think you proved that you’re not the least handy man in the history of men having completed the repair. Nicely done and congrats! Thanks for the nice comment 👍
Thank you very much. Mine broke a few days ago. We dropped by Lowes and found the replacement parts and its now working again. It was definitely frustrating to get it into the hole but once it was done there was no issue. I was thinking we were going to need a plumber. Thank you so much!❤❤❤❤
Great to hear! Glad you were able to get it fixed up and working again. Appreciate the comment 👍
Really good tutorial, I’m ready to fix my sink drain stopper. Thanks for sharing your skills
You bet! I appreciate the comment 👍
Just such an intelligent video--because it was simple, clear, concise. Great job!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate that. Glad it helped.
Very good video! He did an effective job explaining and showing very important parts that helped me fix ours.
Great! I’m glad the video was detailed and helped. Thanks for the comment 👍
Thanks for the video. I'm a new home owner with no "Ms. Fix-It" skills. I was able to follow your instructions and wahlah! No more issue! Thanks again!
Stacy Boney awesome! Glad this helped!
Extremely helpful, thank you!
Chris C you bet! I appreciate the comment.
Thank you sooooo muuuuuuch!!! I fixed two. One gave me a lot of problem because the wall was too close but at the end it worked. Very helpful.
Maribell Ramirez glad you found this useful! Cheers!
i had the same problem with proximity to the wall. I used a bolt cutter to lop off an inch or so off the end of the rod going into the pipe. Problem solved.
Great descriptions and very helpful camera angles. Thanks!
You bet! I appreciate the comment!
Thank you from mom and son at 8:30 pm. Even bought the exact same universal piece!
Excellent! I appreciate the nice comment 👍
thank you, Sir! thanks to your video, we were able to easily fix ours!
Excellent, I love to hear that! Nice work and thanks for commenting 👍👍👍
Watching in January 2020. I am confident I can repair my own bathroom sink now, thank you.
For sure! It’s totally doable! Best of luck!
TY for the video. I am sure the Chinese or Japanese have moved on to a less archaic mechanism. This mechanism looks so primal!
😂😂😂 first time I’ve heard that speculation, but it totally makes sense! And you’re welcome 👍
Great Video, I couldn't have done the repair without it
Ronald Chesnos glad it helped! Thanks for the comment!
AWESOME! Thank you! I watched a few other videos to address this problem, but your video is easy to follow and I was able to fix my stopper!!! Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this!!! What the heck did we do before UA-cam??? LOL
Lol, I completely agree! UA-cam is a life saver! Thanks for the comment and kind words 👍
This works and thank you,it dropped my heart when it broke.Easy, quick and helpfull
You’re welcome!
Straight to the point. Great video.

Glad to help!
Thanks! This video was exactly what I needed and fixed it no problem!

I was TOTALLY gonna call a plumber tomorrow morning to fix my sink, but this video helped me fix it in less than five minutes. Thanks so much!!! Watching a few more ads just for you!
Fantastic! Glad this video helped you and saved you some cash. Thanks for the ad watch! I saw my revenue increase $.0001. Haha, no seriously thank you. It’s very much appreciated 👍
