Bathroom smell coming from corroded pipe?

Hi there - I recently put some sink unbloaker down the bath plug hole, left it for a couple of hours and rinsed out with hot water from the tap. I've done this before but usually rinse it out with a kettle of boiling hot water. The problem is that since I did it, there's been a hideous musty smell in the bathroom. I'm thinking that I didn't rinse it out properly and it's corroded the pipe which is giving off the smell.
Can anyone tell me if my theory makes sense please?
Thank you
Regards

fill the sink right up & pull the plug.
If the smell continues something else is wrong & come back & post.
Loss of trap probably.
What cleaner was it & what is your pipe made of?Not Again0 -
Could easily have gone through plastic pipework/couplings or knackered a seal if left in there for 2 hours and particularly corrosive. Really should be no more than 15 mins - 30 max!
Take the side off the bath and inspect the pipework underneath. Any leaks to be seen?
