Hi!

My shower was not draining correctly so I took the (please excuse my technical terms) star type thingy out that catches the hair, and then there was a cylinderical plastic thing beneath that which was also clogged with hair so I took that out too and cleaned it. I then unblocked the blockage but when I went to put the cylinderical piece of plastic back in I couldnt as it dosent seem to fit anymore.... Obviously it hasnt changed size and either has the drain so I figure there is obviously a way of doing it that I havent figured out in the past 3 days.....

The piece of plastic is about 5inches long, 1.8 in diameter and has a plastic strip across the middle of the inside about 2 inches down, which I used to pull it out.

Has anyone got any ideas?

My boyfriend is due home tonight and I dont want to look like an idiot! :oops: :oops: :oops:
 
Put some liquid soap round the inner bit. Plug it in like a lightbulb. It should drop a few mm. as you twist it :idea: Then pop the star thing back :wink:
