How do I know if I need a sink plug with an overflow?
Check if your sink has an overflow hole inside. If so, you'll need a sink plug with an overflow. If your sink doesn't have an overflow hole, choose a sink plug without an overflow.
What is the difference between a popup sink plug and a screw plug?

This is usually caused by dirt, limescale, or soap residue in the mechanism or along the rubber seal. Clean the sink drain thoroughly and check the rubber seal. If it is dried out or damaged, replacement is the best solution.
