Bathroom sink

I have a slow draining bathroom sink. At least 10 minutes to empty. Tried all usual chemicals and home remedies etc. Was told too many bends in pipes causing slow emptying. Want to remedy this myself without the expense of calling someone out or getting someone dodgy. Have pictures to show what I mean

The pipe work needs to be changed swept long radius fittings

Possibly replace the pipe and have less bends in it.

Pick a plunger. ...
Opt for boiling water. ...
Dabble with a drain snake. ...
Ditch debris with a drain zip tool. ...
Try an eco-friendly home remedy. ...
Consider chemical drain cleaners. ...
Clean your stopper. ...
Prep the P-trap.

Hi if I could see some pictures I may be able to assist you further but from what you are explaining it sounds to be maybe the trap is blocked with hair or something try taking apart the trap and clean that through.

try taking the trap off under the sink it may be full of gunk and restricking the flow
