Shower drainage (1 Viewer)

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody had any tips or common issues with shower drainage. The shower tray fills up very quickly and takes a long time to drain.
Many thanks.

High likelihood of gunk in the drain.
Might be worth taking the grill off the shower and poking a hooked coathanger down there to see if you pick something out.
If that doesnt work some boiling hot water, if that doesnt work some drain cleaner.

Best of luck

Check underneath, there may be a trap.

Clean the trap frequently, ours gets full of dog hair, though I've never seen the dogs take a shower.

The slope of waste pipe can be very shallow and so if parked slightly off level can be uphill! I have seen some older vans drill a second drain point too.

Ah but you don't know what they get up to once you go out do you ....
