Hi,

I have a low rise shower tray and while cleaning the waste cover a plastic bottlecap found its way down the wastepipe - now the shower wont drain properly.

I cannot see down the pipe or feel the cap and have tried fixing a wet and dry vac with a rubber hose to try and suck it out with no success.

Any ideas what to try next?

Cheers
Brian

Try pouring lots of water down the waste until it's full then suck that out. The water flow might wash the obstruction out.

Thank you plumbbob. I will give that a go
