- Unblock bath drain - If your bath is draining slowly then you may have a blockage. This video shows you how to remove a blockage without the use of a plunger or chemicals.
No tools were required for this job. All the fittings were hand tight.
The only tricky part is getting the u-bend to seal on the bath properly. Just take your time and it should be fine.
Very clear, concise, video - definitely what is wrong with my Bath - thanks for Posting on RUclips !
Thanks for the comment. I hope the vid helps you get that drain cleared 👍
Yes has done the job .. thanks !
I did what you said step by step and my bath set of fire.
Quite an achievement 😀
Some times that happens
Thank you very much for the video. I was able to unblock mine. God bless you!
Brilliant. Glad it helped 👍
Tried soda crystals and drain gel, which didn't work. Found this video which helped me finally unblock the drain. Many thanks.
Brilliant. Glad it worked 👍
thanks for this video! other videos are either English or American and they said to remove the face of the drain, which I can't do on my bath/shower. I've done exactly what you've done and its worked!! amazing the amount of hair. You've saved me money on cleaning products!!! thanks a million
Glad it helped. It's the best way to get all that hair out.

How would I clean mine I can't get into my drain like how it's showed on the video.
Would it be the one outside or?
Getting under the bath is the best way. If you can't get under the bath you may want to try a plunger like the one I used in this video.

If this doesn't work then drain cleaners are worth a try.
If none of these work you will have to get under the bath.
I am assuming, of course, that the problem is in the at the bath and not elsewhere in your plumbing.
I can't remove the bath panel, I have a metal snake to push through, but it wont fit through the small drain hole at the top. If I remove the screw on top in the middle of the drain inside the bath, will the u-bend pipes under fall through.
The drain could fall from the bath. The seals may hold it on the bottom of the bath but It's a risk. I wouldn't attempt that without a plan B. If it goes wrong you will have to get under the bath.
@@handymancraftglasgow Thanks, I did loosen it a bit, then noticed something under pulling it down., luckily did not fully unscrew it!
Good you didn't.
You could try a master plunger, the link is in the description of this vid
ruclips.net/video/b0V_ygdDLrw/видео.html
This plunger will pretty much move anything.
Or there is a flexible coil that electricians use, very thin and flexible and would go round a ubend. Can't remember what it's called but will see if I can find a link.
nice one m8, only a small blockage but just as disgusting ;-0 but got it done and hopefully no leaks
It's not pleasant. Just keep an eye on it 👍
Thanks,
You're welcome 😁👍
I followed this it was really useful and I pulled out a load of hair but the bathtub is still clogged.
What do you do if the pipe beyond the white ones are blocked
That's a bit more serious. A drain cleaning coil may be in order like this one. www.toolstation.com/rothenberger-pipe-and-drain-cleaning-coil/p55637?gclid=Cj0KCQiA3smABhCjARIsAKtrg6KFn5GXunmRBvmw6Kp9O7haa4aQobxxM06rYv6grO1cjk5wAcWBTWIaAiCLEALw_wcB
@@handymancraftglasgow is it difficult to use? I am afraid I used the plunger for so long that I pushed everything further down.
May be time to call a professional. A plumber should have the kit needed to sort this out.
Great video, but I have tiles instead of the side panel. Can the tiles be removed without damage . How many tiles 300 x 400 would need to be removed to get to the bathtub drain?
A multi tool can work but it takes time. If you use the right attachment it won’t damage the tile and just bounce off it. The multi tool goes through grout and adhesive like butter. Wear goggles though.
Thank you 🙌
Welcome 👍
I should have done this before, plunging, sticking two bottles of caustic and a litre of Mr Muscle. Doh 🤦♂️
Sometimes you just have to do it. 👍😄
Water from my upstairs bathroom is leaking through the ceiling to the downstairs toilet what could the problem be?
Could be many things. Try and trace exactly where the problem is coming from.
@@handymancraftglasgow thank u
Please help! I followed this & found no blockage, it must be further along. Anyway I put the u-bend back on and it’s leaking! It’s super tight why is it leaking? Not a slow leak either HELP
Make sure the small rubber seal is in there and in one piece. Make sure the screw is on the right thread. If those are correct it should seal.
Hey Kit, when I moved house, I found the bath took longer than it should to drain. Fast forward several years: I eventually needed new flooring in the bathroom and discovered that the bath waste-pipe under the floor had been fixed in a slightly uphill angle, making it hard for water to drain away.
If your bath is still slow to empty, maybe you have a similar problem.
My panel is fixed so won’t come off 😟
Makes it more difficult.
this is great but good god man - PUT SOME GLOVES ON 🤢
i cant unscrew the thing,
It can be tight. Pump pliers should do the job.
Un done wrong pipe its a disaster 😂🤣 im soaked!😂🤣
Not good 😬
I used a while bottle of one shot (not all at once lol) and it didnt work
Sometimes you just need to get in there and take it apart. Not pleasant 👍
@@lukafab2192 I removed the U bend under the tub cos the auger snake kept on getting caught in the trap. Not much in it but then I inserted the snake into the pipe that goes into the floor and I pulled out something that resembles the thing in the video. No leaks after I reassembled everything. I think I did a good job for my first time. Plus I didn't end up needing to call a plumber l
If you got to the big clump of hair I would call that a success. Brilliant 👍
@@handymancraftglasgow cheers for the help
Very welcome 👍
How did you open bath tub please reply
I am guessing you are wanting to take the side panel off the bath to access the plumbing.
Mines has minimal fixings. There are usually a few screws holding the panel in place. If it's one like mine you just slide it out from the bottom. There are hundreds of different types of panels and different ways to fit them.
Look for any screws and you should be able to get it off.
Was it just me watching this thinking spiders?, im not ready to adult😭
Its scary under the bath 😀
Could've least worn gloves 😂
It's way more disgusting without the gloves 😁👍
Great vid but still
🤮
It's not pretty 👍
That's disgusting
Not pleasant at all. Fixed the slow draining problem though.
Oddly satisfying though
Co and disgusting mate
It's not pretty.
