Nothing is more frustrating than a bathtub that slowly fills while you’re in the shower. In this installment of Tool Tech, host Patrick McCombe shows how to take apart and fix the two most common styles of tub drain. There are fixes for both stopped-up tubs and those that won’t fill. Patrick also introduces the Watco NuFit replacement tub drain for those occasions when you can’t get the existing drain apart or you want a good-looking fix fast.
