Step 2: Unblock the Drain

Once we have diagnosed the blockage, we get to work unblocking the drain using the latest equipment and techniques. Depending on the severity of the blockage, we may use a plunger to remove the blockage or a drain snake to clear out the pipe. Our team will select the best method to ensure that the blockage is cleared effectively and efficiently.

Step 3: Test the Drain

After we've unblocked the drain, we test the bathtub to ensure that the water flows freely and the blockage has been completely removed. We also inspect the drain to ensure that there are no remaining traces of the blockage.

Step 4: Prevent Future Blockages

We understand the importance of preventing future blockages. That's why, after unblocking the bathtub, our team will offer advice on how to prevent future blockages. We will advise you on suitable products to use, such as the appropriate stoppers, to prevent hair and other debris from going down the drain.

What to do if Your Bathtub is Blocked?

If you notice that your bathtub is taking longer than usual to drain, or is not draining at all, it's important to act quickly to avoid the situation getting worse.

1. Stop using the bathtub immediately to prevent the water from overflowing.
2. Avoid pouring harsh chemicals down the drain, as this may make the blockage worse.
