Are you on a well?


That hydrogen sulfide smell may be from your well water.


(The heat drives out the dissolved gas.)


Does the hot water at the sink smell?


Do you have water treatment for the drinking water, but not for washing?


Don't panic, H2S smell is so strong that you can notice it before it gets


anywhere near dangerous, but if it's showing up in a system where


there was none before, have the water checked.


If you're not on a well, it might be sewer gas which would indicate


trouble with your vent piping.

Thats bad drains. Its a horrific smell. I would try some drain cleaner. You can buy it from most supermarkets and its about 拢4 - 拢5 a bottle. If that doesnt work you may have to get dynorod in.





Hope this helps

edit: bleach wont work, it will only mask the smell. They need cleaning.
defective sacrificial anode rod in the hot water heater. research in QUESTIONS, this has been asked /answered several 100 times,,,





( good news,,its curable)
That's methane gas coming in the vent or up the drain possibly the system is faulty best get a plumber in and get it checked out
there probably isnt a s type trap in the drain below the tub which allows the sewer gas to come in
Prehaps you need the loo first
