Hi guys,
No match for my problem using the search facility so here goes.
Had my complete bathroom replaced recently, all ok apart from shower enclosure waste, i bought one with a built in hair trap, with the shower running the water just about drains away with a little build up, but once i get in the shower and start showering and the trap starts filling up with hair the water starts to back up into the shower enclosure. I can't find the trap i bought anywhere online but it looks pretty similar to the one on the screwfix site,

Is there no mechanism for the water to escape in the event the hair buildup stops the water draining, i have to empty this hair trap every time i shower and i have to plunge at least once to "unblock" it during a shower.
The plumber said he would have to build a platform to put the enclosure on as the floor was being tiled and also to give access to the waste in the event of a problem, but for some reason this platform was never built and now it looks like i have a problem but cannot get to the waste easily.
Any ideas or is it just a case of me being too hairy
Many thanks,
garya
