    Installing pop-up sink stopper
    My plumber broke the stopper lever, so now he suggests I put in a pop-up stopper. He told me I had to replace the tailpiece as it's part of the stopper assembly. Is this true or can I simply remove the existing stopper and put in a pop-up stopper without replacing the tailpiece. Thanks so much. MM

    Not sure what might be broken but if you have a lavatory drain with out a pop-up you can always replace it with another that looks the same. But if you have the hole drilled in the faucet for the pop-up rod to go down into it is just as easy to put in a pop-up drain system.
