Yes makes sense to me too! So now I know why its a slow drain away after a shower and why the water always sits below the plughole. Is there no way to remove the 'tube inside a tube' just to get access to any blockages/drain cleaner etc and put back before the shower is in use again?

Ok thats great, so still sticking a hose down there will blast anything away even though its a sleeve within a sleeve? same with chemical drain unblocker?

kbdiy : do you know the style of plug and waste we both have for this shower? If I could then see a google diagram of how its working (below) I could maybe get my head around it better, as I have a limited view from above!

Brilliant reply thank you. Right, so I have plunged wet to get the full force of the water pressure and nothing is really happening. With regards sink unblocker chemicals down there, I have left up to 4- 24hrs and flushed with hot water and still not much joy. When i pour sink...

Thanks for your reply, no dont have a wet vac im afraid. Slightly baffled by this, as I have removed the plug grill, but putting some makeshift wire, down and feeling around with my fingers, I can't seen any opening at the bottom of the plug trap? I know the water is running away...

Thank you, i suppose this makes sense now due to the air/water pressure when plunging. The only reason I haven't was because if the water sits, I have to try and get the water out, mop it up etc, which took ages from a shower tray - but i will fill it to just above the plunger cup and plunge...

Thanks for this. I am trying to find some suitable wire that can get around the bend, as we have no wire coathangers here.. I haven't really plunged when the shower tray was deep in water (covering the plunger) so maybe give that a go? The first time it did block and it was underwater and...

Yes, shower is the lowest point as its downstairs, but yes sink in same bathroom drains fine and so do others?

Thanks will try and its difficult to see and get at. Its just odd that the water just sits now in the plug? Even putting bleach/unblocker down that sinks below the waterline - so am not sure if its doing its job and getting to the blockage?

As an update yes the centre plug does just pull and pop out which is a bit easier? But having looked and felt down the plug it seems sealed? which is odd I know I have poured sink unblocker down it, and water and it just seems to sit indefinitely? As mentioned there is a one way trap on...

This is the shower drain, which doesnt show any screws to remove? and it doesnt pop upwards as its a solid unit so im a bit stumped??

Ok so I have plunged and have now used sink drain unblocker and still no joy? I have attached a photo and the drain unblocked just sits at the level of the drain, and maybe only sinks 10cm overnight?? Also from the picture I can't see any screw or way to remove the actual metal sink plug...

Our shower is now blocked and this morning water was just standing.. I have a plunger and plunged the plug which keeps letting off bubbles (as if things were being moved) but still nothing. I do believe we have a trap door fitted just behind the plug (as we had some smells coming back a...

Can anyone recommend a dark antique wood wax for a table we have just purchased that has character, with some wood splits etc So maybe a filler and wood wax to give this a clean? I have tried to attach photos for better description but basically any recommendations for just bringing out...

We have been getting the occasional smell from our toilet and bathroom which smells like sewage. We are on a septic tank (which has just been completely replaced for a brand new Aerobic model) We are not sure whether its this (could be coinicidental) or whether its from the toilet itself...

This maybe a silly question, but how do we find the MPG of our car? We have an Audi A1 TFSI 1.4 but have been asked by the company (the car owners) for the MPG with regards to annual petrol / mileage? I can't seem to see anything directly in the manual? So thought i'd ask here for any...

I have changed the aerial lead for a much thicker standard cable and done a full retune. So far so good, all channels are playing :)

This was installed by a professional. I will try a different aerial cable actually as i am using a thin pre-moulded aerial cable so maybe a better cable would change things?
