How do I know my shower is blocked?

You'll know for sure when there's water on the floor! Slow draining is the clue. Standing in a shower with water around your feet means it's not draining quickly enough. And there's nothing worse than cold feet in a warm shower!

What causes a blocked shower?

Hair gets trapped in the plughole and eventually clogs it. This is usually the cause. It might also be that soap and residue has combined with the hair to create a blockage. Sometimes the blockage is in your main drain. This can be caused by leaves clogging the pipe or even a breakage. Whatever it is, we'll remove it or repair it.

How can I prevent a blocked shower?

Install a trap. It will catch hair whenever you have a shower. Every now and then flush the pipes with soda crystals and hot water. This should clear any soap scum and residue that may be building up. Finally, check the drainage gullies and drains outside for leaves and other debris that might block the flow of water.

We pride ourselves on our open and honest pricing - there are no hidden charges and we even charge in 15 minute intervals after the first hour. You won't find many plumbing and drainage companies with a pricing policy like that! Take a look at our pricing list for a guide on how much you can expect to pay.

We also have a price comparison tool, that enables you to check our prices against our main competitors. For larger projects such drain repair, drain excavation or drain lining we can provide you with a fixed price and what's more, the quotation is free!
