Step 1: Use A Plunger

Using a plunger is the first option for removing a blocked sink. Place the plunger over the plughole, ensuring that the plunger's rim has a tight and secure seal to prevent air from escaping. Next, press and pull the plunger several times, creating a vacuum that will hopefully unblock the sink.

Step 2: Remove The U-Bend

If plunging doesn't work, the next option is to remove the U-bend beneath the sink. Place a bucket beneath the U-bend to catch any water, then use a pipe or a pair of pliers to unscrew the nuts that secure the U-bend. Remove the U-bend, clean it, and replace it.

Step 3: Use A Drain Snake

If removing the U-bend doesn't work, consider using a drain snake. A drain snake is a long and flexible tool that can reach deep into the sink's drain, removing any blockages. Insert the drain snake into the drain and twist it to dislodge the blockage. Pull out the drain snake, and the blockage should come out with it.
