1. Equip with tools required at first

• To eliminate the blockage that is causing your
  bathtub to drain,
• you'll require all of the following equipment
• A bucket or cup (for making nails with water)
• A screwdriver
• Rubber gloves
• Old towels or rags
• A cup plunger
• We also recommend putting one of these things
  before you begin
• Protective eyewear
• Rubber boots
• A plastic apron or some other piece of clothing

2. Get rid of stagnant water.

• If you find any water standing in your tub,
  flush it before beginning.
• Use cups or a bucket to drain the water, then
  pour it down the drain next to it.

3. Take out stopper and strainer.

• Most bathtub drains come with stoppers or
  strainers that stop hair and other items from
  flowing down the drain.
• To clear the drains of your bathtub, it is
  important to get these obstructions from the way.
• Remove the stopper yourself however, most
  strainers will be anchored to the drainage hole
  by just one screw.
• Remove this screw to take the filter away from
  the drain.

4. Include hot water in the bath

• If the tub isn't draining after you've removed
  the filter, your drain has probably been blocked.
  
• Before you begin, the process of unblocking your
  tub will require you to use the faucet to pour
  some inches of hot water into the tub.
• It is crucial to add enough water to completely
  submerge the plunger's cap when you put it into
  the drain.
• The water will cause the suction and the
  pressure required to get rid of the blockage of
  your bathtub.

5. Check for debris expulsion.

• After 10 or 15 minutes of pumping, you'll
  rupture the seal you've created around the drain
  by removing the plunger.
• If you can clear the blockage, you'll see filthy
  water or debris emerging from the drain when you
  remove the plunger.
• This is because of the force produced by the
  plunger inside the cup. The plunger is designed
  to move the blockage inside your tub drain until
  it reaches the surface and away from your drain.
• Instead of pushing it down to break it up into
  pieces (which is how toilet plungers function).

6. Use a plunger for the drain

• These plungers, also known as cup-style
  plungers, are "conventional" plungers you
  envision when you think of plungers.
• The plunger's head plunger in the cup, then
  places it over the drain, creating an extended
  seal.
• Make sure the plunger is at an angle of 90
  degrees parallel with the drain.
• Use the handle to push the plunger's head
  downwards and then push it inward until it
  "resets" to its original shape.
• Repeat this process swiftly and continuously for
  around ten pumps or approximately 30 minutes.

7. Repeat the process several times

• After you've broken the seal and allowed the
  debris to fall away, The water in the tub will
  start draining normally if it doesn't, then
  there's a blockage that wasn't cleared to this
  point.
• You can try this method several times until
  you've noticed some results. If you've tried this
  method several times and still can't eliminate
  the blockage, then it's the right time to change
  methods.
• This technique can remove any obstructions to
  your bathtub. If plungers do not work, it is
  possible to try baking soda or get into the drain
  with the plunger's claw or a tool.
• It could be more than a simple blockage if you
  cannot solve the issue.
