If the bath is empty, remove bath trap and poke it from underneath with something?

ETA: Never mind, see you've already sorted it!
No, carry on. He might be out of Stanley blades next time...

Shot of napalm in the morning...?

The plug in our bath is a metal one which has got itself stuck in the hole!
It seems to have been pushed down a little too far and I cant get it out at all, no room to get down the edge with a screwdriver.

Any ideas how to get it out before I drill a hole in it?
Yup - pour a little liquid nitrogen over it, then pull gently and it should come out.
If not, just tap it and it should shatter.

Try not to get too much nitrogen on the bath or that may shatter instead.
Either way the plug will now be free.
