Bathroom Light Switch – Easy Ways to Re-Attach End Part of a Pull Light Switch

bathroom

In my bathroom, I have a light switch; pulling the string that is attached either turns the light on or off respectively. When doing this yesterday, the very end of the pull switch came off – the string is still attached and works without issue, but the very end part (the bit that people usually use to turn the light on/off without pulling the string directly) detached itself. Is there an easy way of either re-attaching the original, or will a new end part need to be purchased?

Those are often held on by a knot, if you can open the doodad (assuming it is simply clipped shut) you will be able to thread the string through the hole and make a new knot. With a needle and thread or some glue you can stich/glue the knot to prevent it from undoing again.

There is no need to replace the string itself unless the string is what failed.
