I have replaced a downstairs shower and basin.
The shower and basin were plumbed in to existing plastic connections which are set in concrete and go under the floor.
I have a problem with the wastes which are slow to drain.
I can live with the basin problem by not leaving the taps running.
The shower however fills up with water and can overflow.
If I use a drain unblocker (which is like a bike pump) I can make the water empty rapidly - once a vortex starts it is then OK.
I have noticed that when I plunge the sink that air comes out of the shower waste.
The waste pipes are connected only to the sink and basin.
To add confusion, when I first fitted the shower (about 4 months ago) it drained OK.
Any help appreciated.
