    Plumber advise on shower enclosure?
    Walk in shower the centre drain very slow, this causing water to splash outside shower enclosure, can l do anything to drain water quicker !

    It sounds like you have a partial cloged, put 1/2 a cup backing soda 1/2 cup table salt and one cup white vinegar in to the drain leave it over night in the morning put a bucket very hot water and turn on you shower this may help, Thanks.

    HI guys...

    I'd up one on the approach here. I'd remove the shower strainer (unscrew screws or pry off the strainer cover) and use a hooked coat hanger to reach in and grab at anything caught up in the PTRAP of the shower drain.

    After you clean and clear the drain you can do a wash of the system as Afaroo suggested.

    If this fails to resolve your issue then it will probably be time to rent an electric hand-held drain snake (see picture) and clear the drain that way. Be sure to purchase leather gloves and safety goggles for your safety, OK?

    Good luck!
