Mr Muscle Max Gel Drain Unblocker - ASDA Groceries is the usual product I use. I poured a full bottle of this in my bath this morning (about 3 inches of bath water left in that wouldn't drain). Still hasn't drained. What else can I try?

I would use a drain snake or similar and see if you can remove a physical blockage

You need a drain coil to pull the blockage up and out, then use the cleaner.

I use the stick things that you put down the plug hole and they grab all the hair.

It's gross and satisfying at the same time. Always works though. Anyone in the house with long hair?

I swear by Buster. They used to do a kitchen one but I can't find it anymore 😥

Think I've seen it in Asda but definitely Sainsburys has it. We leave it to work overnight btw as DD as long hair that gets trapped in the pipes.

EDIT - I see you still have water in the bath so nvm. Use this AFTER you've pulled a big clump of yuck out. It will help ensure the rest of it is cleared.
