Slow Draining Bath Problem, When Using Shower Fitting ?

[peterjg1972]

Hi

Just moved into a flat having a bath with a shower fixture above,
so you can have a shower in the bath.

My problem is the slow drainage, which causes water to build up around your feet when having a shower,

I took off the waste trap (40mm Mcalpine shallow waste trap) and thouroughly cleaned it, however the drainage is still slow.

I think the drainage angle of the drain pipe looks adequate.

Are there any other types of waste trap which give faster drainage from a bath, perhaps ones specifically designed for baths which are used as showers?

Cheers

Pete

that should drain ok.
whats it drain to stack or hopper etc.

Hi seco

It goes into a stack and i've just checked, it seems a very low gradient on the external connecting pipe, compared to others i see, perhaps this is the issue?
