Showers

Please keep a check on your shower bases.  When cleaning your shower keep a check on the seals to ensure they are kept clean with bleach.  Check the seals are in tact. Keep a check that shower doors are functioning well.  When your shower water is not running away – you will need to clean the trap.  You will need to invest in plug unblocking treatment to pour down regular to keep the pipes flowing well.

DO NOT USE YOUR SHOWER IF THE TRAY IS OVERFLOWING.
