Kits are available to make sure the toilet flange is level with the new floor. These kits are adjustable because of the differences in thickness of flooring and material, any subflooring laid down, grout, infloor heating etc. . Ideally, you want to seat the toilet on the wax gasket, and attach the mounting bolts, and have the toilet flat on the finished floor. These kits are easy to find and use.

It's not the toilet, there's a blockage in the pipes some where after the drain pipe from the toilet joins up with the drain pipe from the tub.You're going to need to have the pipe snaked.

Can you install a toilet on an existing shower drain?
You need at least a 3 in. pipe -- shower is 2 in. pipe
What if a toilet flange will not fit in the drain pipe?
The easiest solution would be to move the toilet so that it lines up with the waste pipe.
Why does toilet over flows when doing laundry?
The laundry waste pipe is fitted to the main drain near the toilet and the main pipe down the line past toilet is partly plugged, forcing the laundry waste up the toilet waste tube. You need to auger the pipe from toilet to outside. If all the piping is in ground you will have to remove toilet from floor to do this properly.
Will flushing food down the toilet clog the pipes?
Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. You're taking chances if you do. Same as putting a bunch of paper towels down the toilet. Usually the toilet will back up and overflow before the lines will clog as the p-trap built into the toilet is smaller than the diameter of the sewer pipe.
Can the Tub Overflow drain leak?
Yes, the gasket between the overflow pipe and the tub can go bad, or it can leak around where the pipe is attached to the drain.
How can you prevent well water overflow?
You may have an artesian well. Pipe some of it to a holding tank for periods when you need more.
