Blocked Showers in Portsmouth, Portsmouth

Have you ever wondered what actually causes that gurgling sound or the slow drainage? In our experience clearing drains across Portsmouth, from the Victorian terraces in Southsea to modern flats in Portchester, the culprits are usually the same: a nasty cocktail of tangled hair, soap scum, and limescale. Over time, these materials bind together inside the U-bend, creating a sticky 'plug' that traps everything else passing through. Because we live in a hard water area, scale build-up can also narrow your pipes, making it even easier for hair clogs to form. Left untreated, a slow-draining shower can eventually lead to a total blockage or even a leak that damages the ceiling in the room below.

When you are searching for someone to help, you don't want a national franchise that charges a fortune just to turn up. We are Sink and Drain, a family-run business based right on Hayling Island. Because we're just down the road, we can usually be at your door in Portsmouth or Southsea faster than you can find a plunger in the shed. We know the local streets, the common plumbing quirks of Portsmouth properties, and most importantly, we care about our reputation in the community. You won't deal with a faceless call centre; you'll speak to a local drainage engineer who knows exactly how to get your bathroom back in action.

Why struggle with DIY methods that only half-work? Our team arrives with professional-grade kit designed to clear the toughest shower hair clogs and soap scum build-up without damaging your fixtures. We don't just poke a hole in the blockage; we use electro-mechanical cleaning and trap clearance techniques to ensure the entire pipe is clear. For those really mysterious problems where the shower keeps blocking every few weeks, we can even perform a CCTV drain survey. This lets us see exactly what is going on underground, identifying if a cracked pipe or tree root is the real reason your bathroom drainage is acting up.

We believe in being upfront with our neighbours. There is nothing worse than getting a bill that is twice what you expected. That is why we offer a no call-out fee policy and provide clear, honest quotes before any work begins. Whether you are a landlord in Cosham needing a quick fix for a tenant or a homeowner in Milton dealing with a drainage emergency, you will get the same transparent service. We pride ourselves on being tidy, too—we’ll treat your home with respect and make sure we leave your bathroom just as clean as we found it (minus the puddle, of course!).
