Bath Blockages Are Almost Always Worse Than They Look
A slow bath usually means there’s a hair-and-soap plug somewhere between the trap and the main waste run. Plungers and chemical cleaners rarely shift it because the blockage sits past the U-bend, where they can’t reach.
We strip the trap, mechanically clear the line, and jet it if needed. Most jobs are done in under an hour — and we test the bath fills and empties properly before we leave.

Bath Drain Unblocking FAQs
How much does it cost to unblock a bath in Houghton le Spring?
Why can't I just plunge the bath?
Plungers don’t reach past the trap, where most bath blockages sit. They also damage older bath sealant if used too hard.
Can chemical drain cleaners damage my bath?
Yes — strong chemicals damage older pipework, sealant, and acrylic baths over time. We use mechanical methods and high-pressure water.
Is the bath surface safe during the job?
Yes — we use bath protection on every visit. No scratches, no damage.
How long does a typical bath unblock take?
Do you replace bath traps too?
Yes — if your trap is cracked, leaking or blocked solid we can replace it on the same visit.
Do you cover all of Houghton le Spring?
Yes — every Houghton le Spring postcode and surrounding areas.
