New pressure balance faucet or you can install a pressure balance valve in the
water lines behind tub or if you have a crawl space you can install it on the water lines there. But install only too the lines to tub faucet. And they are not
easy no matter where you install. I would just tell everyone not to use any water till you are done with shower.

How can you prevent a toilet from backing up into a shower drain?
Don't flush the toilet while someone is taking a shower. your septic tank may need pumping off if you have one..if you have city sewage sounds like the drainage line is stopped up so the water comes in the tub before it can exit the clogged drain..hope this helps..
The toilet tank is not filling with water. In fact I don't hear running water. What should I look for?
you should try to look in the back of the toilet and search for any clogs in there while you flush it. if that isn't the problem then i don't know what it is
When you flush the toilet the shower water gets hot why?
Code allows your plumber to supply three fixtures using 1/2 tubing. In most bathrooms, you only have three fixtures (tub/toilet/lavatory). So most plumbers only run 1/2 pipe to supply the bathroom. Code allows this. Personally, I find this layout a little short-sighted.Anyways - when someone flushes, the toilet requires water to refill. Which means your shower is now sharing that water supply with the toilet as the toilet refills. What I love best is when you re-adjust the shower valve...then the toilet quits filling...and you scald yourself. Lots of fun there.Your problem is caused by poor plumbing (my opinion) or if you are in an older home, galvanized pipes tend to corrode from the inside which only makes the condition worse.If you like to do things yourself, carry over a 3/4 line and pull 1/2 take-offs for each fixture and the problem will be solved.In a straight : When you shower you are using both hot and cold at the same time and when you flush the toilet you are causing the homes cold water to be guided more through the toilet line including the cold water that you are using from the shower line.:If a few words, water pressure and flow are inversely related. The more flow you have, the less the water pressure. Since the toilet and shower are connected to the same water supply line, when there is flow into the toilet, it takes away from the shower. Since cold water is used to supply the toilet, it takes away from the cold water flow to the shower. With the same amount of hot water flowing, the temperature of the water in the shower will get hotter.

Fix any leaking toilet or faucets. 5. water lawns only in early morning and evening when evaporation is minimum 6. try drip irrigation for the lawn and plants. 7. sequester rain water for use in washing and flushing 8. use washers that require less water 9. Keep the pool covered when not in use to minimize evaporation
Why would a toilet back up into the shower?
A down line clog would cause this. The shower drain is lower than any other drain in the bathroom so it is the first to tell you of a clog in the line. Time to Roto Rooter! Y-THINK-Y The toilet and shower must have the same drain. There is a blockage somewhere after the toilet and shower drains meet. The backup takes the easiest route back which must be the shower drain. Try snaking out both drains. Start with the toilet. To do the best job, remove the toilet and start from floor level.

Why won't the toilet fully flush It usually leaves the toilet paper until you flush twice It used to do it all in one flush?
Probably an issue with the main line. Tree roots possible or collapsing. One thing you might try if it is just buildup in the line. Get a 5 gallon bucket full of water and pour it in the toilet as fast as it will take it. Enough so that the level in the bowl comes up to the underneath side of the rim. This may open up the line for a while.
