Question: I dropped something down the sink, can anyone help?
I dropped part of an electric razor down the bathroom sink. The plug broke off years ago and the little object tumbled down into the darkness.

We were unable to retrieve it with a coathanger and I told my girlfriend that we would have to unscrew the s-bend in the pipe to get it.

She balked at this idea, claiming that we would need to “reseal” the threads on the pipe if we unscrewed them.

Is this correct?

Can someone point me towards a DIY plumbing site?

Thanks.

you may have to reseal it but probably not. just get some teflon tape and wrap the threads before you rescrew it back together that way you will have sealed it before you have to find out you need to.
