    Blocked showers

    Clearing blocked shower drains

    Most blocked shower drains are hair, held together with soap. Water pools around your feet, drains slowly or spreads across the bathroom floor. We clear the waste with a drain snake, treat the pipe and test that the water runs away.

    If the shower backs up when other fixtures drain, the blockage may be further down the line. The price is fixed before we start.

    Before we arrive

    • Stop using the shower until it’s cleared.
    • Don’t pour chemicals into water sitting in the shower.
    • Tell us if a basin, bath or toilet is slow too.

    Hair

    Old Toongabbie, August 2026: a blocked shower drain cleared

    The customer’s shower drain was blocked. We found the blockage and cleared it with a drain snake. Hair going down the drain had caused it. We then used acid to make sure the drain was clear and tested it, and the blockage was gone. Then we cleaned up.

    Glenwood, October 2026: a blocked shower waste causing water to pool

    The shower waste was blocked and water was flooding the shower area. We used a drain snake to clear the obstruction and then treated the pipework with a trade drain-cleaning product. We tested the waste after clearing it and confirmed the blockage was gone.

    How it works

    How we clear a blocked shower

    1

    Call 1300 301 354 or book online. Tell us how the shower is draining.

    2

    We quote a fixed price, and work begins only when you say yes.

    3

    We clear the waste with a drain snake and treat the pipe.

    4

    We test it to make sure the water runs away, and clean up.

    Keep it clear

    Stopping it happening again

    A hair catcher over the shower waste stops most of the hair that causes these blockages. Empty it regularly.

    Backing up?

    When it’s more than the shower

    If the shower backs up when the toilet flushes or another fixture drains, the blockage is usually further down the line, and the line may need jetting. See jet blasting.

    Pricing

    What does clearing a blocked shower cost?

    The price is fixed before any work starts. It depends on:

    • Where the blockage is, in the waste or further down the line.
    • How it’s cleared, with a drain snake or a jet blaster.
    • How many fixtures are blocked.

    Checking the job and pricing it is free on weekdays between 7am and 5pm, when there is no call-out fee. Book online and you’ll save $50, once you accept the quote.

    Questions people ask us

    Blocked shower questions

    Why is my shower drain blocked?
    Usually hair held together with soap. In Old Toongabbie in August 2026, hair going down the drain had blocked a shower, so we cleared it with a drain snake and tested it.
    Why is water pooling in my shower?
    The waste is partly or fully blocked. In Glenwood in October 2026, a blocked shower waste was flooding the shower area, so we cleared it with a drain snake and treated the pipework.
    Can I clear a blocked shower drain myself?
    Pulling hair out of the grate can help a slow drain. If the water still won’t go down, call us rather than pouring chemicals into standing water.
    Why does my shower gurgle when the toilet flushes?
    That points to a blockage further down the line rather than in the shower waste. The line may need clearing with a jet blaster.
    How do I stop my shower drain blocking?
    Fit a hair catcher over the waste and empty it regularly.
    How much does it cost to clear a blocked shower drain?
    It depends on where the blockage is and how it’s cleared. You get a fixed price before we start.
