What Causes a Blocked Bath or Shower?
Blocked baths and showers are typically caused by a gradual build-up of materials within the drainage system.
Common causes include:
-
Hair build-up within the pipework
-
Soap residue and product build-up
-
Dirt and debris entering the drain
-
Limescale restricting water flow
-
Blockages further along the drainage system
Over time, these materials reduce water flow and can lead to complete blockages.

How We Clear Blocked Baths or Showers?
Our engineers use a range of professional methods to safely and effectively clear blocked toilets.

High-Pressure Water Jetting
In many cases, clearing the bath or shower alone is not enough, and the blockage may be located further along the drainage line, with high pressure water jetting required to clear.

Electro-Mechanical Drain Cleaning
For tough blockages, specialist mechanical equipment can be used to break through heavy obstructions inside the pipework.

Removal of Debris and Obstructions
Where obstructions and debris have accumulated inside the pipes, our crews are equipped with specialist equipment to remove these.

When a Blocked Bath or Shower Indicates a Bigger Problem
Persistent drainage issues may indicate a wider problem within the drainage system.
This could include:
-
Blockages within the main drainage line
-
Build-up deeper within the pipework
-
Damaged or misaligned pipes
-
Root ingress affecting flow
Where required, we can provide recommendations for drainage repairs to address the underlying issue.
CCTV Drain Surveys for Blocked Baths & Showers
If the cause of the blockage is unclear or the issue keeps returning, a CCTV drain survey can be used to inspect the internal condition of the drainage system.
