Having Issues with a Slow or Blocked Shower Drain?
Blocked shower drains are one of the most common and frustrating plumbing issues we see. If you're noticing any of the following, you're likely dealing with a blockage:
- Water draining slowly or not at all
- A musty or sour smell coming from the drain
- Gurgling sounds from nearby pipes or fixtures
- Water backing up into the shower or other drains
These signs indicate a buildup that could worsen without proper attention. Our experienced plumbers are fully equipped to investigate the problem and get your shower draining smoothly again.
Why Blocked Shower Drains Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Delaying a blocked shower fix can lead to bigger and more expensive issues down the line. Some of the most common consequences include:
- Foul odours that linger in your bathroom
- Bacterial growth and health risks from stagnant water
- Water damage from overflowing or leaking drains
- Pipe damage that could result in major repairs
Acting quickly saves time, stress, and money. We’ll get the blockage cleared and your pipes flowing properly again with minimal disruption.
Common Causes of Shower Drain Blockages
Most shower drain clogs start small but build up over time. Here’s what typically causes them:
- Hair
- Soap and shampoo residue
- Dirt and body oils
- Mineral scale buildup
- Damaged or corroded pipes
- Poor installation or old plumbing
Routine maintenance and mindful use go a long way. Installing a simple drain strainer and avoiding heavy product use can help prevent future issues.
Tried DIY? Here’s What to Do Next
Tried the baking soda and vinegar trick? Used a plunger or snake with no luck? Some minor clogs can be cleared with home tools, but deep blockages or repeat issues usually mean it's time to call in the professionals.

Blocked Shower Drain FAQs
-
Shower drains often block due to a buildup of hair, soap residue, dirt, or product oils that gradually restrict water flow and trap more debris over time.
-
If water drains slowly, backs up, or makes gurgling noises, it’s partially blocked. If it doesn’t drain at all or starts overflowing, the blockage is more severe.
-
DIY methods can work for light clogs, but persistent or recurring blockages usually need professional tools and inspection to fix the issue properly and safely.
-
Yes, we offer same-day service for blocked shower drains throughout Brisbane. Call early, and we’ll often be there within hours.
-
Absolutely. Over time, hair and soap bind together and form solid blockages that can trap more debris, restrict flow, and eventually cause overflows or pipe damage.

I had Tom from Weekend Plumbing Co. come out this morning, and I couldn’t be happier. From the moment I booked the appointment, the communication was smooth and friendly. Tom arrived on time, was professional, and took the time to explain what needed to be done before getting started. The quality of the work was excellent — efficient, thorough, and tidy. I would definitely recommend Weekend Plumbing Co. to anyone looking for reliable and top-notch plumbing service!

Tom came out to assess our blocked kitchen drains, he went above and beyond to ensure the sink was draining before he left. Even though we couldn’t afford the whole works required today, the quote was reasonable but out of my budget this week - he went to work with his plunger and made sure the sink was draining to see us through the next couple of weeks until we book in for repairs and maintenance. Really polite and punctual, highly recommend this business, especially grateful for Tom’s help today!
