Cascada Brass Pop-Up Sink Drain with Overflow & Detachable Strainer
Most bathroom sink drains do one thing: let water out when open and hold it when closed. This one adds two things most standard drains skip. First, a detachable strainer basket that sits inside the drain opening and catches hair, soap pieces, and small debris before they reach the P-trap — without requiring you to pull the stopper entirely to fish out whatever's caught. Second, push-button operation instead of a lift rod: one press closes it, one press opens it, no threading a rod through the vanity cabinet or adjusting a clip you can't reach. Both features matter more than they sound after a few months of daily use.
How It Works
Press the button at the center of the drain cap — the stopper drops and seals. Press again — it lifts and water drains. The mechanism is spring-loaded inside a brass body, with a silicone gasket forming the actual seal around the drain opening. Silicone is the right gasket material here because it compresses cleanly against the sink surface, doesn't degrade with soap or cleaning products, and maintains its seal without tightening over time. The overflow slot on the body connects to your sink's overflow port, preventing water from running over the edge of the basin if the stopper is closed and a tap is left running.
The Detachable Strainer — Why It Matters
Standard pop-up drains either block debris entirely (nothing passes, strainer clogs fast) or pass everything through to the P-trap (clogs build up slower but deeper and harder to clear). This drain sits between those two approaches: the detachable strainer basket catches what it should without clogging the drain opening itself, and lifts out in a few seconds for rinsing under a tap. No tools, no disassembly, no reaching into the drain with a finger to pull out whatever accumulated. It's a small design decision that changes how often you think about your drain — which is to say, you stop thinking about it.
Eight Finishes, One Construction
The brass body and stainless steel construction are identical across all eight finish options. What changes is the electroplated surface treatment: each finish is applied in multiple layers to resist scratching, tarnishing, and the constant moisture exposure a bathroom drain encounters. Choose the finish that matches your faucet — all eight coordinate directly with Cascada's faucet range:
- Polished Chrome — pairs with chrome faucets and hardware
- Brushed Nickel — the most neutral option, works across most bathroom palettes
- Brushed Gold — warm tone, PVD-treated for tarnish resistance
- Matt Black — flat finish for contemporary and high-contrast bathrooms
- Polished Gold — high-gloss warm tone for traditional or maximalist interiors
- Rose Gold — blush-warm tone, soft contrast against white porcelain
- Oil Rubbed Bronze — dark, antique-adjacent finish for rustic or transitional spaces
- Antique Brass — aged warm gold, suits Victorian and traditional bathroom styles
If you're also installing a Cascada waterfall faucet, the Cascada bathroom sink faucet range is available in matching finishes — installing both at the same time keeps the job to one session.
