Is it one of those Robin Askwith plumbing situations?

I meant one of the old-fashioned wire coat hangers is the perfect size to fit in place of the triangular bit of metal, then simply pull the shoulder bits!

Taking care not to scald yourself try hot then cold water. Different rates of expansion might help

A screw in plug? In a basin? Never heard of such trickery. Sounds like a dodgy design to me - you'd worry it might get stuck...

Oh...

Sorry,

I'll go back to finding names of amusing German Nazi leaders for the other thread...

Don't know if it would work. But how about using a plunger on the overflow. It might pop it up?

I think we must be the only idiots with a plug like this. It's up not down but the waters not draining and when I plunge it the plug pushes down. Need to unscrew it to remove it

Ahh, so it is a pop-up, it's just blocked.

Are you sure the mechanism unscrews, it might just need a bit of tugging (fnarr)

Wait.. I have just realised the flaw in my plan (if your sink is full of water).

Don't laugh..

you have the new type that screws in to tighten up the gap to stop the water draining

theres 3 types theres the external one that seals on the top of the basin plug hole thats an easy one to do twist it off and pull upwards the other is a pain but can be got out but need thin screwdrivers to prise upwards until it pops off

the third one is a screw type but has a rear plunger to drop the plug into the hole some have a nice habit of screwing these too deep best way to get these out is go underneath where trap is and push upwards with a long screwdriver

so we come back to yours id advise taking trap off getting a bucket underneath and push up from underneath to get the plug back out

a very nice and wet person will be there

try this if yours the same as the one in the video

gently push over the plug to the side and then push back to the other side sometimes you need to force them over about 1/4 of an inch and other way 1/4 of an inch is your total movement on them

doing this will help you out then push over puling up a little then over to the other side doing the same if your lucky it will start to rise as you pull it out

I would suggest a valve grinding tool

This is not a sex toy, it will be in hubbies toolkit if he ever worked on engines.

Like a rubber sucker on a stick..

The only other possibility is to get a bit of wood, and a hammer.. Then give the plug a few sharp taps. Try and angle it ever so slightly to unscrew it..

Or take out the water and put a bit of glycerin down there. ( not the nitro type ..)

you can carry on wiggerling for me

just one thing to say now every time you clean the bathroom pull that plug out and clean it at same time

otherwise it will get stuck again like it has done
