Slow-draining bath or shower? Usually hair and soap scum, easily cleared.
Baths and showers block gradually — hair, soap residue and limescale build up on the inside of the waste pipe until drainage slows to a trickle and eventually stops. It's rarely urgent, but it's worth sorting before it backs up completely, particularly in a bathroom with only one working shower.
We clear the waste pipe properly rather than just pulling out what's reachable from the plughole, which is usually as far as a DIY attempt gets.
Older properties around Mossley Hill and Woolton often have bathrooms added well after the house was built, on pipework that was never really designed for the job — that's usually where hair and soap scum collect. Newer housing in areas like Childwall has wider, more consistent pipework that blocks less often, but still happens.
A cheap plughole hair catcher stops most of the problem before it starts — it's the single easiest way to keep a bath or shower draining well between visits.
Yes — wet room gullies and shower tray wastes are usually narrower than a standard bath waste, and we carry the right size equipment for both.
