I just want to take a bath!

Can I make my toe-touch bathtub drain stopper stop leaking without involving my landlord?

My tub is brand new and has a toe-touch drain stopper. It doesn't fully stop the tub from draining when I try to take a bath. This is interfering with my ability to stare off into the middle distance for 30-45 minutes while slowly cooking myself.

I tried underwater suctioning a disc-shaped Tupperware lid over it and that helps a bit, but it's still leaky. I think the lid isn't creating a good seal because it's plastic, not rubber.

My landlord would happily fix this but has had to come over a lot to fix stuff lately, and I want the house to myself for a bit. Also, if they couldn't fix it, they'd send their plumber who is absolutely wacky and has to be reminded a bunch to wear a mask, which is not consistent with the chill bath time vibes that I need in my life right now.

Is there anything I can buy to put over it? Or can I fix it myself?
