About Drains Company
Hair catchers, sink strainers, plugs, drain tools and grates, shipped free across New Zealand on orders over $175.
We started Drains Company for a simple reason. Drain parts are mostly sold by photo, and a photo cannot tell you whether a hair catcher will sit in your shower drain or whether a plug will seal your basin. You find out when the parcel arrives. We wanted a shop where the size, the material and the fit come first.
Why we list size, material and fit
A drain part either fits the drain you have or it does not. So each product page lists the size, the material and the kind of drain the product is made for, with sizes in millimetres where the maker gives them. Measure your drain once, check it against the page, and buy the part that fits. Where a measurement is not published we say so and do not fill the gap.
We sell shower and bath hair catchers, kitchen sink strainers, sink and bath plugs, drain snakes and augers, plungers, drain brushes and jetter hoses, floor drain covers and odour seals, shower grates and floor wastes, gutter and downpipe guards, and washing machine and dishwasher drain hoses. The category pages explain what to measure in each group. We sell tools and fittings. We do not sell chemical drain cleaners.
What you can do yourself, and what needs a plumber
Most of what we sell sits in or over a drain you already have, replaces a plug or strainer, clears a blockage, or connects an appliance hose to an existing outlet. Those are things a householder can use. In New Zealand, sanitary plumbing and drainlaying on fixed pipework must be done by a licensed plumber or drainlayer. That covers installing or altering wastes, traps, floor wastes, shower grates connected to the drain line, and stormwater connections.
A tight range, chosen carefully
We do not list hundreds of near-identical parts. We pick a small number in each category to cover the usual jobs around the house, from hair in the shower drain to leaves in the gutter. If a size you need is not on the page, ask us before you order and we will check it with the maker.
How we ship
Orders are sent with a tracked courier, and delivery is free on orders of $175 or more (a flat $20 applies under $175). Most orders arrive within 5 to 10 working days of the order date, a little longer to rural areas.

Who is behind Drains Company
Drains Company is part of a family-owned group of online stores. Our CEO, Renoo Caruso, is a Christian preacher based in Phetchaburi, Thailand.

That faith shapes how we trade. Clear prices, honest product details, and a real person answering your email. We would rather lose a sale than mislead a customer.
