    Hi all,

    My toilet isn't flushing away quickly enough, so it's filling the bowl up and when it does manage to disappear down the bowl my shower waste splurts water out!!

    You have a clog in the line somewhere causing this problem.

    Twinkie's correct. "You have a clog in the line somewhere causing this problem." Well there's a surprise for you. Bet you didn't knew that, huh?
    Your clog will be found downstream from the shower. This can be snaked from one of two places. 1) From the lavatory roof vent **or** 2) Pull the toilet and send the snake down the open closet bend. Good luck, %om
