Blocked Baths across Southampton
In many Southampton houses, the bath shares a waste pipe with the basin, and sometimes a shower, before joining the soil stack. That means a blockage in the shared section can make water appear in the basin when you pull the bath plug.
Older properties may still have original waste pipework that has been extended during bathroom refits, with bends and joins where hair and soap collect. We clear the whole run, not just the trap.
