Slow bathtub drainElche, Valencian Community

A bathtub that drains sluggishly — leaving inches of standing water after a shower — is almost always caused by a hair-and-soap clog in the drain assembly or P-trap. Over months, hair wraps around the stopper mechanism and binds with soap scum into a dense plug. A simple drain snake or zip-strip tool clears most tub clogs in minutes. If the slow drain persists after clearing the trap, the blockage may be deeper in the branch line or main drain, requiring professional hydro-jetting. A licensed plumber can also inspect for pipe scale buildup or improper venting that causes slow drainage.
