Plumbing drainage problems... HELP!

3 replies

I think I am going to have to call out a plumber (which I cannot afford)

The drainage in my bathroom has always been a bit slow but now it is getting much worse.

The bath takes hours to empty, when you have a shower you end up ankle deep in water and even the basin is now not draining.

I have tried Mr muscle drain unblocker etc but no joy.

Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?

Thanks Sad and damp

use a plunger? you could get a quote from a plumber before you confirm anything might not be too expensive

Try a coat hanger - (unravelled one!)

hmmmm I do not own a wire coathanger or a plunger.... God I am useless.

So I just need to poke around? I have a fear of what may be down there. I unblocked a sink before and found a hair hamster (clogged up hair mixed with conditioner) the problem is this time it must be more like a hair guniea pig or perhaps otter that is down there somewhere under the bath that I cannot get to it.

Will try to source a plunger or coat hanger tomorrow

thank you for advice
