The handle (only) on my toilet shutoff cracked, and won't work to turn the water off. My hands aren't strong enough to hold it on tightly. I went to the hardware store to buy a new one, but they said I could only buy a new valve mechanism. I don't need that, and don't want to do that much work when all that is necessary is a new handle. Would a plumbing supply place have just the part I need?
I also have a bathroom sink that has a much smaller drain opening than the standard. I can't find a replacement stopper that plugs the drain (the stopper that goes up and down when the other gizmo is pushed up and down) as well as allows water to drain, but keeps other stuff from going down . The previous owner lost one. She had a toothpaste cap stuck in the drain! I don't want that. I have a rubber stopper, but that won't let the water drain. I can't even find a "teaball" strainer that will fit down inside the drain. It appears to be less than an inch as a 1-1/32" was too large.
Thanks for any suggestions.
