It's Almost Always Hair (And Almost Always Worse Than You Think)
Most shower drain blockages are hair, soap scum and conditioner residue building up just below the trap. By the time the water’s slow, there’s usually a hairball the size of a small mouse sitting in your waste pipe.
We pull it out properly, clean the trap, jet the line if needed, and check there’s no further build-up further down. One visit, fixed price, no return calls.

Why Your Shower Drain Has Blocked
Hair & Soap Scum
The classic combination. Builds up just below the grate.
Conditioner & Body Wash Residue
Thick products coat the inside of the waste pipe over time.
Trap Issues
Cracked or detached shower trap leaking under the tray.
Limescale Build-Up
Reading's hard water leaves scale that catches everything.
What Reading Customers Say After A Shower Drain Fix
Chloé V. — Reading
Shower had been slow for weeks. Engineer pulled out a hairball that genuinely belonged in a horror film, cleaned the trap, jetted the line. Fast, professional, fairly priced.
Liam P. — Reading
Shower tray was filling up faster than it drained. Booked online, fixed before lunch the next day. Engineer was tidy and explained what to do to prevent it returning."
Reema A. — Reading
Two showers in the house, both slow. Turned out to be a build-up at the junction. They cleared the whole line, tested both showers, fixed price. Excellent service.
Nigel S. — Reading
Old shower trap had cracked underneath. They diagnosed it on the first visit, replaced it, no leak since. Honest about what was needed.
