intermitent tub drain problem

Posted by susan on November 18, 2001 at 22:39:45:
My bathtub drains slowly - but not all the time. When it drains slowly (or sometimes not at all), I weight weigh down the "flipper thing" with wet wash cloth. The wet wash cloth usually stays on for a brief period -- meaning I'm standing in ankle deep water before my shower is over. Is this something I can repair myself. I have house guest coming in December, and would like to take care of this myself. If it isn't something I can take care of myself, how big of a job is it going to be for a plumber to fix? I can't afford much. Thanks.
