Did you check for hair down below the stopper? Womans hair was a problem when my daughter was home.

Sometimes it could be a pet too. One of my cats loves to get around the bath tab.

First make sure your drain pipes are either plastic or at least not waiting for a plunging job to fail. ie not paper thin!!
Get the hot water running and plung the sucker with a good soft dual action plunger. Just keep at it till the drain works well. You will need to hold a washcloth over the drain vent in the tub and sink
