Looking for any suggestion as to how to unplpug a slow bathtub drain

Take overflow coverplate off and pull out plunger(if applicable) now stuff a wet rag into overflow pipe (stuff it in hard enough to seal it) Now plunge the tub. You may have a friend that can hold the rag in place while you plunge the tub, May also remove tub strainer cover and see if there is a lot of hair and gunk in there that you can pull out with a pair of needle nose pliers. Let me know how things work out. Take care.

This is like a step #2 to mygirlsdad, if his fix doesn't work then you can rod down that overflow hole with a 1/4" rod, that should do it.

If Mygirlsdad's methode doesn't work proceed with Bob's instruction, see the images below, Thanks.

To add a bit to both Bobs and Johns answers,To snake your tub remove the two screws holding the chrome face plate and pull up and out on the linkage and plug. Feed your snake in through the opening. You will run into the return bend of the trap about 18 inches down but crank and work your way past that yooi should only have 6 or 8 more feet to run out. Flush with a tub of hot water. Good luck and thank you for rating my answer, Tom
