When Should You Call About a Blocked Shower?
Signs You Have a Blocked Shower
A blocked shower can be frustrating and unhygienic. If water is not draining properly or you notice a bad smell, it could be a sign of a deeper issue in your pipes. Here are common signs you may need help with a blocked shower:
Here’s what to watch for:
- Water drains slowly or not at all: Often caused by hair, soap, or dirt stuck in the drain.
- Standing water in the shower tray: This means the pipe is likely fully blocked
- Bad smells from the drain: Food, grease, or soap can build up and rot in your pipes.
- Gurgling sounds: Air trapped behind a blockage makes these noises.
- Water backing up elsewhere: If water rises in nearby sinks or baths, your main pipe may be affected.
If you notice any of these problems, call Flow Sure Drains. We’re trusted experts in fixing blocked showers in Bristol and Chepstow.

FAQ’s
1. What causes a blocked shower?
A blocked shower is usually caused by a build-up of hair, soap scum, shampoo, dirt, or limescale. Over time, these materials can collect in the pipes and stop the water from draining properly. Regular cleaning can help prevent this, but some blockages need professional help.
2. How do I know if my shower is blocked?
Signs of a blocked shower include:
Water draining slowly or not at all
Gurgling noises from the drain
Bad smells coming from the plughole
Standing water around your feet while showering
If you notice any of these, it’s likely your shower drain is blocked and needs clearing.
3. How to clear a blocked shower drain?
To clear a blocked shower drain, start by removing the drain cover and taking out any visible hair, soap, or dirt using gloves or a drain tool. Next, pour boiling water down the drain to help loosen the blockage. You can also use a mix of baking soda and vinegar. Pour the baking soda first, then the vinegar, and leave it to fizz for 10–15 minutes before flushing with more hot water.
If the blockage remains, try using a plunger or a flexible drain snake to reach further down the pipe. Still blocked? The problem may be deeper in the system. In that case, it’s best to call a professional. At Flow Sure Drains, we specialise in clearing any blocked shower safely, quickly, and with no mess.
4. Can a blocked shower cause other problems?
Yes, a blocked shower can lead to bad smells, leaks, or even damage to your floor if water overflows. If left too long, it may also put pressure on your pipes or cause problems elsewhere in your drainage system.
It’s best to fix a blocked shower early before it becomes a bigger issue.
5. When should I call a professional for a blocked shower?
If home remedies like plunging or using natural cleaners don’t work, or if your shower keeps blocking, it’s time to call a drainage expert. At Flow Sure Drains, we use safe, effective tools to clear any blocked shower quickly, with no mess and minimal disruption.
