The Pop Up waste in my bathroom basin has suddenly decided not to stay
down - it just springs back up again.

Any ideas?

For the price, its hardly worth titting about too much - if there is no
obvious gunk stuck in the works, I would replace it.

Maybe you should call in a local handyman - he would be bound to know
what to do! :-)

Have you had a look at the operating rod under the basin to make sure
that nothing's interfering with it - or hanging on it?!

I was assuming this was one of the spring loaded jobbies rather than the
one driven by rods etc.

I had a similar problem with the one we inherited with the new house. It has a pull up handle attached to a rod, whatever held it up initially no longer worked so unscrewing the small knob at the top allowed me to secure a rubber tap washer on the rod. Now all I do is pull the handle up and push the washer down to stop the handle dropping down until the weight of water on the pop up keeps it in place.
