Sounds like a calcium buildup. Use Lime Away on the pipe to clean it off completely, using a heavy brush.

Answer 2

showers are a dangerous place due to the mildew factor with the water vapor and the tile texture
but the biggest risk is the slippage quotient due to the nonporous surface of the floor where if you bend over to get your lost soap you might slip and hit your head
its a dangerous maneuver but its essential that you keep yourself clean and smell free to attract mates and have good skin

Answer 3

It's sounds like calcium buildup. You could try some CLR (calcium, lime and rust remover) on ut. That should do the trick. You can get it at any grocery store or places like Home Depot.

If it is soft and I suspect it is then it is a greasy soap build up. Pour a couple pans of boiling water down the drain.

Answer 5

Jump on it.
