The present invention relates to preventing overfilling of baths and other sanitary ware such as showers, sinks and water closets. A sanitary ware assembly 100 is provided that comprises a water receptacle such as a bath 120, a water inlet pipe 130 to allow the receptacle to be filled with water, a valve 150 located on the water inlet pipe that regulates the flow of water through the water inlet pipe and hence filling of the receptacle, and an electronic non-contact water sensor 140. The sensor is mounted externally on an outer wall of the receptacle and connected to the valve to control operation of the valve. A signal from the sensor preferably closes the valves. Later embodiment relates to a method of retrofitting said overfill device.
