Bubbling shower trap

jim14822 · Jul 30, 2024

Hi
For the past 2 months my shower has been draining slowly and bubbling like there an air block. I've put 3 loads of drain cleaner down, but still not draining properly.
Any advice would be very greatfully received.

Thanks
Jim

Definitely sounds like a blockage only outlet doing it toilets fine ?

First off take the shower head off and use the shower pipe at full volume directly into the trap, take off any restrictions like a hair trap first. I have to jet wash my shower pipe from outside at least twice/year due to low fall and soap accumulation, you may need to do the same?

Thanks for the reply, yes toilets all fine. Remove the trap and see if I can't get to the blockage from there.

Thank you, I'll try that.
