How old are they? Sticking pop-ups is usually a sign of age. There are a few temporary fixes but I simply replace them. They are not expensive. You don't need to dig them up and replace the complete head. Just unscrew the internal part and replace it with the new. There is no point in replacing the old casing unless it has been damaged. Talk to one of the people at either of the Ace Hardware stores and they will show you how to do this.

Hope this helps.
