Follow these simple tips to prevent blocked drains or other drainage emergencies in your bathroom.
London City Drains | Bathroom Drains Helpful Hints
Immediately repair leaky taps - this will prevent further damage to other fixtures and fittings.
Don't use your toilet as a trash can. Flushing solid waste items [nappies, facial tissues etc] down the toilet is a fast route to causing a blocked drain. Keep a waste bin in the bathroom and use that instead.
Run hot water down the drain on a regular basis [weekly] - this will help prevent drain blockages and keep the drain free flowing.
Fit strainers to the plug holes in sinks, baths and showers. This will prevent most debris from entering the drain [such as matted hair or broken soap]. Make sure you empty out the strainers when they are full.
To remove scale build up from a shower head [reducing flow and looking unpleasant] fill a plastic bag with vinegar and tie it around the shower head - this will dissolve the mineral deposit.
