Probably, but it also might be the two together. Slow draining water is going to deposit grease much more. Might be worth a try anyway.
Any DIY supplier will sell you a pump. Wickes do them for somewhere round £30 IIRC. I wouldnt expect it to come with 40mm fittings though.

Well I've hunted using Google etc. and have found nothing that really seems to be aimed at waste pumping except the Saniflo ones.
Central heating pump. Designed to pump with a moderate amount of crap in the water, which will work fine, as long as you dont feed lots of little screws down the plughole. Youre pumping grey water, the saniflo is for brown not grey.

And running dry between baths how long will it last? Or how do you sense to turn it on?

How about an automatic bilge pump intended for a boat. They come on when water hits the sensor and continue until free of water. They're low powered and quiet and often deal with less than pristine water.
Try a few of the online chandlers.

Just read the thread and see what was suggested. It would last much longer than in a CH system since it is running much less. Youre right to half make the point that its run time shouldnt be too OTT.

Saniflo is a range of equipment, there is one for baths, showers etc. ISTR it's called Sanichasse, but ICBW. Try a plumbers merchants rather than a DIY shed who tend to only have the kharzi ones.
