Built on the Tools, Not in a Boardroom

Back in 2008, Tony and Ronnie were working together in construction plumbing—taking on jobs big and small through their business, Impact Plumbing. When a major contractor called them in to solve an urgent drainage issue on a new apartment build, they found a bigger problem: there was no product on the market that could do what they needed.
So, they invented one.
Using flexible rubber and a few spare parts from their factory, they built the first Grate Seal prototype. It worked immediately—and changed the game. What started as a made-to-order fix soon became a patented, tested, and certified product available across Australia.

Let customers speak for us
from 90 reviewsThe Grateseal stopped the drain smell and stopped the drain gurgle sound of other solutions.
Bought 2 of these after trying to get rid of the smell coming from the bathroom drains. There are no vent pipes, so the drains were the vent.
Thought that some drain cleaner would work, but our pipes were clean. A mate suggested these, so I gave them a try.
Once fitted up as per instructions, no more smell! In both bathrooms. We are very happy with this product. Thanks!
Easy installation and it does its work properly.
Simple concept and simple to install.
Installed two of these at home over the weekend. Unfortunately neither of the drains I was installing into were standard. One had been reduced by whoever installed it with mortar, so I had to get creative with the seal. The other drain had a 35mm pipe (weird) and I had a 50mm Seal unit. Again I got creative and used a coke plastic bottle lid, cut off to screw the oversized seal into place and create a fairly air tight seal, whilst still allowing the diaphragm to open and close.
Fixed the sewer odour immediately, great product.
Great product
Resolved bathroom smells and fitted both the shower and floor drain perfectly.
So easy to install, and I'm not handy at all! Took less than 5 mins.
Completely effective, bad smells are massively reduced and no more drain flies!
Shower is draining perfectly, no issues since installing.
Brilliant invention!
I can’t believe how far across the globe i had to look find something so essential
Packed, and delivered fast. Very happy with this, fits perfectly. Stopped our trap smell issue. Would highly recommend. Thanks👍🏻
Easy to install, anyone can do it.
Amazing product. Easy to install and works perfectly.
Works great. fast shipping.
The Grate Seal 100mm-80mm is a wonderful product. They have solved problems for me prior to this, and success is on the horizon with the latest pair when I get a chance in the next day or so.
It really works well, there are no more smells.
