Thanks for the tips and advice all - this has been really helpful! Following the comment about being able to unscrew the plughole, I have done that and discovered it isn't actually a limescale buildup but simply the plastic parts of the pipe underneath sticking out into the middle, I just couldn't see them properly before.
What I did find though from unscrewing the plughole is a nasty buildup of mould in there, which I've now been able to take care of.

Thanks again for all the help.

That's great news, it's always nice to hear what happened, and even better if it went well.
