Drain stopper for "old" sink (LAGAN 2010)?

Hello everyone,

we bought our kitchen in 2010 and equipped it with a LAGAN sink (now called Boholmen).

In the meantime, the rubber disc of the drain stopper has apparently deformed so much that in the "open" position almost no water flows through. Now I would like to replace the sink stopper – but during a recent visit to Ikea I found out that some time ago (2011?) the head of the Atlant siphon was changed and accordingly the (new) sink stopper no longer fits.

I found the recommendation to replace the siphon completely quite ... well, inappropriate. Because the siphon is not the problem – besides, I am glad that everything is tight (and stays that way). True to the motto: "Never change a running system."

Has anyone had a similar problem – and found a solution? That is, installed an alternative sink stopper or adapted the "new" sink stopper to the "old" siphon (by cutting or similar)...?

Hi
You don't have to change the entire siphon, just the drain at the top, basically the counterpart to the stopper. It works best with two people, one holds the siphon firmly against the sink from below, the other carefully unscrews the strainer at the top and replaces it with the new strainer.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it is not available separately, but 10 euros for the complete set is not much either. In this picture, you can see quite well what you need. I believe only the screw has changed, which would make it even easier.
But I'm not sure.

I had a similar problem. I have a domsjö sink, which has a longer screw included with the basin... and when I moved, I renewed the siphon and then the screw no longer fit. The new screw has a hole inside into which the stopper fits, I got it from customer service.
