Hi

Our shower is slow to drain. No problem I thought, I’ll take the cover off the drain and clean out. However, I’m faced with this, with no obvious drain pipe leading away from it. Seems to have some type of spindle in the middle!

Any ideas how this works and how I can clean please?

Many thanks.

Well, thanks everyone!

I have an admission - my wife had removed the inner part to clean, so I didn't realise that part should have been present.

Anyway, with that removed it still wasn't flowing well, so before seeing the recommendations to use a cleaner I resorted to the kitchen waste plunger, which actually seems to have worked.....!

I guess some cleaner would be the a good idea anyway.

Many thanks again!
