Define the pattern
Note exactly which fixtures are affected, when the symptom occurs and whether it changes with use elsewhere in the property. The pattern helps distinguish a local fitting problem from a wider supply, waste or drainage issue.
Avoid replacing parts by guesswork
Visible symptoms can have more than one cause. A useful first inspection checks the simplest accessible possibilities and gathers evidence before opening finishes or replacing major components unnecessarily.
What to send on WhatsApp
Send the property location, a short description of what happens, when it happens, which other fixtures are normal and clear photographs or a short video where useful. Mention any previous repair to the same area because recurrence changes the investigation.

Several Drains Are Slow at the Same Time
When multiple fixtures drain slowly together, the restriction may be farther downstream than an individual trap or waste.
