We clear blocked baths across Bristol, often on the same day you call.

Why Bath Drains Block (and Why They Rarely Clear Themselves)
Most bath blockages are caused by hair, soap residue and body oils collecting inside the waste pipe. Every bath or shower sends small amounts of hair and debris into the drain, where it gradually catches on rough surfaces and builds into a larger obstruction.
Many homeowners try drain cleaners or plungers, but these often only create a temporary improvement. The blockage remains further down the pipe and continues to collect more debris until the drain slows again or blocks completely. Once a blockage has formed beyond the trap, professional equipment is usually the quickest and most reliable solution.
Bath Blockages Can Indicate Wider Drainage Issues
While most blocked baths are caused by localised waste pipe blockages, occasionally the problem lies further along the drainage system. If water backs up into other fixtures or multiple appliances are draining slowly, the issue may involve a shared waste line or the main drain itself.
Our engineers can quickly identify where the blockage is located and clear it without unnecessary disruption to your bathroom or pipework.

Blocked Bath FAQs
If the blockage is close to the plughole or trap, you may be able to remove it manually. However, if the bath remains slow draining after basic cleaning, the blockage is likely further down the pipe.
Chemical cleaners sometimes provide temporary relief but rarely remove larger blockages completely. Repeated use can also damage older pipework and fittings.
We offer same-day service across Bristol whenever possible and can often attend within a few hours of your call.
