What is the estimated cost of a plumber...?

Question

unclogging a bath drain?

I've tried doing it myself but nothing seems to do the job....

Answer 1

I agree that it is most likely a hair clog.  At Lowes or Home Depot, you can purchase a plastic tool called a "Zip-it".  It costs about $3, and is very easy to use.  Try this before calling a plumber.  Good luck!

Answer 2

more than likely its plugged with hair.

Walmart sells a tool for a few dollars to run in the drain and pull out the hair.

I'm a plumber and I would get any were from $60 up for doing that job.

plus parts.

Or there is  a product called thrift, that is put in the drain and run hot water with it and it works very good for keeping small drains open.

Good Luck

Answer 3

We live in a small town and its $60. For that price you could buy a plumbers sink snake. Take out the stopper and twist the snake down the drain then back out a few times until it goes in all the way in. Then flush it out with water. Good luck. PS If you have more then that drain not working its a clog in the main line- call a plumber.

Answer 4

Usually anywhere between $50-$100 an hour and then parts.  

Answer 5

when you tried unclogging the drain  , did you take the overflow /trip lever cover off and than gently put a rag in the overflow  pipe  and than plunge  to clean out the clog . it will take some elbow grease but it works majority of the time  . also if there is a grid drain on the tub  remove that and look for hair wrapped around the drain area .. plumbers here start at 75 an hour  . the company i work for would cost you about 140 dollars for the first hour and 90  for each hour after that  . hopefully you can get it unclogged yourself.
