Bathroom sink has been slow to drain since I moved into this house 18 months ago, at the weekend got to the point where it took ten or fifteen minutes to drain after just washing your hands. So I bought some drain cleaner and just left it down there for the recommenced 15 minutes. It looked drained so I ran the hot tap to flush as instructed.
At this point the bathtub starts making bubbling noises then a load of brown shit bubbles up from the plug hole in the bath. Now my sink drains fine, but water immediately comes up out the bath plug hole (with added brown shit), then slowly drains away.
Fuck knows what’s going on behind the scenes as it’s all boxed away but I’m guessing the two share a pipe and the blockage has just moved down a bit.
Can I just do the same with the drain cleaner in the bath this time? Do I need to do both at once? Leave it for longer? Do something else? Trying to avoid calling the landlord for a plumber if I can sort it.
