Bathroom

Sink

Once upon a time we had simple rubber plugs on a chain to keep water in the basin. Now you need to press the chrome plug bit in the bottom of the basin.

To clear any blockage the chrome bit can be unscrewed for cleaning.

The chrome plug in the overflow just pulls out for cleaning

If you need a shower caddy

We spend a long time trying to find a shower caddy that looked good and didn't require any drilling into the nice, tidy bathroom tiles. What we have found here is called a 'tension shower caddy' made by Simplehuman. You can buy it here: https://www.johnlewis.com/simplehuman-tension-shower-caddy/p1697270

Cleaning the shower drain

It isn't obvious how to get the shower drain apart. Here is your step-by-step guide:

Remove the chrome cover by just pulling it up.

The centre part of the shower drain also pulls out but requires a little bit more of a tug:

Then you will find the hair filter in the middle - just lift it out for cleaning.

Removing the bath side panel

To get access to under the bath the tile at the top end of the bath is removable, it's held in by silicone instead of being grouted in:

Finally, getting access to behind the toilet

To get access to behind the toilet and the cistern just slide the flush buttons panel to the left. I haven't tried it but I'm assured that it does work:
