We just remodeled our two bathrooms. We changed to vessel style sinks. Ever since doing so, they drain slow. The drain style is the fixed drain with small holes. The plumbing under the vanity and sink (p-trap) to the wall is new. If you run the water at a normal rate. The sink will fill, being slow to drain. A snake was run down the drain at the wall and down the vents. If you rub your hand back and forth over the sink drain, it bubbles and starts draining a little faster. It still drains slowly and will not keep up with the water flow. Someone told me this is just how vessel sinks are. It just doesn't seem right. Any ideas or thoughts? I need help...

Thanks, Brian

That's the problem with vessel sinks: they don't have overflow. Without overflow, drain is choking making water to drain slow. Possible solution is to buy new drain, w/o small holes, but with on opening, like Peagasus sold in Home Depot.


I looked up images of vessel sink drains. One with holes is the one you have, the other one is the one you should get. Make sure you have aerator installed on your faucet. Ohterwise, you won't see too much of an improvement with the other type of drain. Let us know how you did...
