If the water in your shower tray is slow to run away or stays around your feet, you likely have a clog. This is usually caused by a build-up of hair, soap scum, and skin cells that get caught in the trap. Over time, these materials stick together and block the flow. You can try to remove the drain cover and clean out any visible debris, but if the blockage is further down the pipe, you may need professional tools to clear it.

Many people try this natural method first. You pour a good amount of baking soda down the drain, follow it with a cup of vinegar, and leave it for about 15 minutes to fizz. Then, flush the drain with plenty of hot water. While this can help with very light grease or smells, it rarely works on a heavy hair blockage. It is a good way to keep your drains clean, but it isn't always a fix for a complete clog.

You can buy liquid unblockers at most shops, but you must follow the instructions carefully. These chemicals are very strong and can sometimes damage older pipes or the seals in your shower tray if they are left for too long. If the water is standing and won't move at all, the chemicals might just sit on top of the blockage and not reach the problem, which can be dangerous when you try to remove them.

The best advice is to try and pull the hair out rather than pushing it further down. You can use a small plunger to try and shift the clog, or a long, thin tool like a wire coat hanger to hook the hair and pull it out. If you do this every few weeks, you can prevent a major blockage. To save time in the future, always use a hair catcher or a mesh cover over the drain to stop hair from entering the system.
