It Started as A Bathroom Washbasin Pop up Problem!
Yes, the pop up remote lever connector broke.then:-
1) Totally unable to screw off the lever mechanism from the waste pipe.
2) Had to Buy a Dremel cutter to cut out the old waste exit.
3) The very old waste trap was then dripping. Sent for a new one (remember - all shops shut).
4) Had to use the Dremel again to cut off the waste exit from the actual basin.The big nut would not move!!!
5) Sent for a new set of metal waste connectors - via on line.
6) Bought a new spanner which could do the big nut whilst still fitting into the incredibly small space under the sink.
End result - about 1 hours actual work, several days waiting for deliveries (Corona Shutdown).
Getting a bit old for all this!

We had ne of those push down levers to raise the drain plug in the en-suit sink. Like you it never worked properly and was absolutely useless. So with the en-suite update we had this setup fitted instead
push down to close push again to release and a new tap

Same here, Tiff.
There is very little I could mend.

That's the same as mine. My plumber fitted mine some while ago now and I've been very pleased with it.
The only thing I don't like it is really, really hard to pull the bit out of the plughole if you want to inspect down there for any reason.
