  • One of ours has 3 screws that need unscrewing. The other is just all push fit (very tight fitting), so I guess it depends what you have

  • Took the scews off but what's underneath is sealed in place, so it is not a maintainable system.

    Fucking joys, no hot water, no central heating, no working drainage.

  • I feel your pain. To clear our wetroom trap you have to remove a cupboard in the kitchen. Thankfully we both have short hair, so it’s not blocked yet.

  • That's completely different to my wet room shower drain. Presumably the bit you screwed off is some sort of fine filter to stop crud going down that tiny flattened hole?

  • Looking at that the grey bit in the centre probably contains the anti odour flap and that is I’m guessing gummed up and not letting the water out due to scuzz and hair. You could try putting some dishwasher soap down it and leaving overnight. It eats scuzz very well. If that doesn’t work I’d drill a small hole (small enough that a self tapper with a rubber washer will seal the hole in case it’s the bottom of the trap) in the grey bit and have a poke around with a pick. If that fails it’s a hole in the ceiling underneath it I’m afraid. Possible easier and cheaper than touching the shower floor.

  • It looks like there's a parting line around the edge. I bet the inner plate rotates slightly to unlock it. There's at least 2 but probably 3 holes which may locate springy bits to stop it coming unlocked.
