My shower cubicle can be a right pain in the behind, I have a hairtrap over the top of the plughole but it still sometimes seems to slow way down drainage wise, anyone know of anything decent to unblock it? I've tried Mr Muscle stuff but heard once something about baking soda? When I first moved in it wouldn't clear at all, then the plumber came back (newbuild so he'd done the plumbing work), took the pipe on the outside wall apart and found a huge bit of brick with my hair wrapped round it inside! GRR LOL

Anyone any ideas?! I'd greatly appreciate it ta

Dynamite?

A haircut?

Oiiiii you two, behave lol

I've used the power squirt stuff before and it's worked quite well - you need to be sure the plumbing's in reasonable nick and not completely blocked before you use it tho, or you end up with the pipes coming apart Use baking soda or the mr muscle stuff first, then use one of the power shot things on it..

HTH

Never heard of those? Who makes them? It's just draining a little slower than I'd like, not completely blocked....do I just pour the baking soda down first then follow it with warm water? It's a newbuild so I'd like to think the pipes are ok!?

Dont use it on yer behind, ffs Anne summers have the tools!!
Also, new build, hmmm, rubs chin while making noise, hmmmm, yer pipes not got the correct degree of fall on it, bad installation, get em to do it correct under your nhbc scheme or tell em to fit a saniflo.
New build are all done on price work an once the guy has been paid he is offski ballofski! Any-who plumbers saying is "shit flows downhill, pay-day thursday..."

LOL yeah the flow from my bath wasnt right, and a mate fixed it, as it was leaking into the bitchenkitchen ceiling...

It's not the angle of the pipes from the shower, it's my bl**dy hair, maybe I should shave it all offski ballofski? Whatcha fink, a Britney Spears lookie likie on the cardsys!? lol

I think it's a mr muscle thing as well... But on searching for one, I can't find one, maybe they don't make them anymore... This one seems to be re-useable tho....

I too had hair like yours, wish I had kept it long now! keep the hair an wash it less! Probs is solved, simples yeah? Natural oils an all that malarky, good for the planet not using shampoo n conditioner!

was it ok after pipe was unblocked and then got slow again ?try and take the same pipe apart as before just to make sure, if thats ok take the centre part of the trap out and make sure it's well clean. next time your in shower stand with your heel over outlet and let water level rise then lift your foot. greater volume of water can sometimes shift slight blockages

Yeah, maybe the Waynetta Slob look is the way forward! Cheers mate!

Just been looking for them and can't find them now, maybe they stopped making them. Found this tho - might do the job? Linky

Cheers,

Short hair is "in vogue" so am told by wife with long hair who is a hair stylist.
