Ugh, the dreaded tub that won't drain – I know the feeling. That slow, sad swirl of water is the worst. Before you go full DIY warrior, a quick story: I once tried to snake mine with a flimsy, store-bought tool. Not only did it NOT fix the clog, but I somehow managed to punch a tiny hole in the old pipe, turning a simple clog into a much pricier leak. Learned my lesson the hard way. For a proper tutorial on how to do it safely and effectively, I found a really solid, step-by-step guide on a plumbing blog. It walks you through everything from choosing the right snake to what NOT to do (unlike me). It’s not an ad, just genuinely good info that saved me from making another expensive mistake: best tools to snake a bathroom drain at home .Hope it helps you get back to a proper shower instead of a standing bath!
