Blocked Drain
Ask a Question
Please can anyone advise what to do with a block drain in the bath? I have tried vinegar and baking soda and Mr muscle. I have read podwer is better but I don't to carry on buying things if it doesn't work.
It’s most probably build up if hair and soap we pour bleach and leave 24hrs also hair removal cream works too have to leave for a day then flush with hot kettle water
Try washing up liquid, hot water and a plunger. Put the washing up liquid down the drain, put in some hot water and then use the plunger. It should break down what is clogging the drain. If it is a build up of hair then you could try one of the drain hair brushes, otherwise you might need to call out a plumber
You can buy a drain cleaning coil in Toolstation for less than £3 which may help
Borrow a plunger to pull up the gunk then pour washing powder down and a boiling kettle of water.
I removed the screw and lift it out and put some costic soda in but be very carful can damage skin and bath pour some boiled water and it should clear
Have you tried a plumbers snake tool it's good
for removing blockages of hair 
beccatavender i made my own out of a long cable with notches cut into it to catch the hair. The amount I pulled out with all the gunk was 
Soda crystals are my go to for sinks much better than caustic soda and the ready made bottles but don't know if bath would be the same ,if it's hair a manual removal if possible is best
A 99p plunger 
. Otherwise it would mean the bath panel off and taking a u-bend off
Caustic Soda from the £1 shop mixed with cold water always dissolves all them hairs and gunk. Always wear gloves & follow instructions on back carefully. This method has never failed me or dissolved my pipes in the process
Check the external drain first before you do it, if that's blocked then you gotta get your hands in i'm afraid in clean it the good old fashioned way
