Mend Plug Seems Stuck

How can I fix my Bath Plug that seems stuck ?

I have a metal twister that you turn for the bath plug to pop out, but this seems to have got stuck. I cant remove the side of the bath to get underneath because of the tiling and they dont do the tiles anymore.

Is there anything i can do to fix this without removing the tiles ?

This happened to ours - a basic plunger from a DIY store did the trick. Just a bit worried it'll happen more regularly... better keep the plunger to hand.

Use a plunger - ours sticks regularly and this does the job

Our plug got stuck at the weekend and my husband broke the round metal twister with brute force.He was saying "we'll have to remove all the tiles from the side of the bath" etc to get at it. I got some frozen peas, put it on the plug (metal contracted) and I managed to squeeze a safety pin in it to yank it out.Was very pleased as my husband hadn't thought of that.
