Something got accidentally dropped down the shower drain and is blocking it. I’ve tried everything I can to get it out, to no avail. It’s blocking it so badly the shower is now unusable as it fills up and overflows almost instantly. The cheapest quote I’ve had from a plumber so far is £150 and that’s probably unattainable even though i made a mutual aid post about it.
I’ve tried everything to get a free plumber, I googled all the potential help for people on low incomes, tried the council, Age UK and potential grants, nothing. Neither my landlady or I are eligible for anything.
What can I do about this? I’m having to wash in the sink and this just isn’t sustainable. I can’t wash my hair at all.
Magnet on a flexible stick. Or if it’s not a metal cap, use the grabby snake.
But there’s more at play here. A bottle cap stood on end should not block a shower drain as it should be at least double the circumference of a normal bottle cap. Thinking 30-40mm here.
