If everything else fails, use water pressure to force it through. For example, a garden hose in the drain sealed in place with a wet towel held all together with your hands.How do i unclog a drain pipe for the bath tub?
Depends on how clogged it is. If it's just running a little slow, try pouring a bottle of Coke down the drain and letting it sit for a while before running hot water down the drain. Coke is acidic enough that it'll eat away at most bathtub clogs (which are usually just some hair) - kind of makes you never want to drink it again, though.





If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to reach down there and pull up a wad of nasty.
The drain is probably plugged with hair. You can removed the little grating over the drain in the tub and dig the gunk out. Once you do that you can use a plunger to loosen the rest of the junk further down. It's kind of gross but it works.





Or you can try the Drano that others have mentioned.
Get a very good new style plunger, that is the best.
Pour a least 1/2 a gallon of bleach down the pipe once a month, it works better than Drano and it won't damage your pipes.
take the top plate off put a rag in to block off the air. the use a plunger on the drain. it will un clog
Try the foaming pipe snake by Drano or Liquid Plumber
take off the drain plate and take a coat hanger and start pushing it down there and see what you pull up...





or buy some strong drain cleaner and let it soak down there





or call a plumber
a plunger .. got a dome shaped rubber top ... that creates a vacuum kinda effect ...or draino ... depends how clogged and whats causing the blockage ... u can also get one of those drain cleaner wire things from the hard ware store .. if u r renting ... its landlords responsibility
