Extra STINKY bathroom - need advise ASAP (pics)

[the01]

hi everyone

We moved to another house recently, and it has a little problem...

there are two bathrooms - one in the ground floor, and second upstairs... the one upstairs stinks really bad.. the drains from the sink and shower are free - we used 2l of special liquid already - to free it... it is not the problem... as it stinks differently - this smells like there is no water trap or somethin - I took a pitcure of what I took off and what I presume will be the problem:


this is what is in the floor of both bathrooms:

this is the inside of that what is under that cover. It fills with water - when u run either sink or shower... it stops smelling after water gets in...

and this is the other bathroom's drain - but this one do not smell at all...

Can somebody tell me what is wrong with the 1st floor drain system? is there any water trap missin or somethin,,? as I was suspecting its the shower stinkin - but yesterday it was the sink itself... so the problem must be inside of that common drain in the floor (it really smells like when u have drain from some stinky hole without any filter at all -- like there was jsut a pipe to the main drain and nothin protecting it from smell goin up...

please any answer appriciated . quickly...

Regards
Peter

Any chance you could take another pic to show how the upstairs bathroom fittings are in relation to the access point on the floor?

btw - the shower drain itself has basicaly no water trap or anything (not sure if it is common to have it like that over here... but as I said, yesterday the smell was coming even from the sink...

neither have i. could the problem be something to do with one drain has a very shallow trap and the other one is quite deep?

Looks like a foreign setup. Stayed in turkey earlier in the year and every bathroom had a drain in the floor (similar setup) one of which smelled pretty bad regardless of how often the trap was filled.

oh damn yeah it is nnot in the uk, I reside in Spain at the moment.... it is apparently not the best solution for drain, is it...

 

[MrMeek]

that says it all, they obviously have different set ups over there try contacting a Spanish plumber

the shower will be connected to the floor drain therefor it will be trapped you need to try an aav on the basin trap see if that helps
