bath plug

Tub water keeper

A bath plug is the stopper that blocks the drain in a bathtub, allowing the tub to fill with water.

Typically rubber, plastic, or metal, it either sits in the drain or attaches to a chain anchored near the overflow: I can't find the bath plug, so I'm stuck taking showers.

Called a tub stopper in American English.
