Shower drain type thing, how to replace?

[buckeejit]

Hope someone can help me

My mate recently moved into a house, everything was fine until he checked the shower...

It's rusted and it snapped as you can see. Is this replaceable easily? I'm not sure what they're called so don't know

Had to unscrew mine to get hair out of it last month (wasn't a nice operation).

Anyway that screws to the pipe underneath which I assume means you can buy a new top bit for a couple of quid. Helps if you have access to the underside of the bath to hold the pipe up too, otherwise you have to use string and hope...

It's a shower... is it buggered?

iirc that whole piece should just unscrew, no idea what it would be called to find a replacement though.

How can it be unscrewed? It's a shower tray so no real access

grab the prongs on the plug at twist

That bit comes off if I just pull it, it clips on and it plastic.

Only the centre bit flips off (for cleaning), to remove the surround you will need to get access to the underneath, disconnect the piping and unscrew the large plastic nut holding it to the shower tray. "Shower waste" I think it's called.
To refit, apply silicone (anti mould type) around the area and screw into place.

Ah crap, I was hoping it would be easier. I had a leak in my shower last year and access was gained through the ceiling in the below room. Would there be an easier way for my mates shower tray?
