Shower draining really slowly

Options
Hi,

Our shower is draining really slowly after it's been on for a few minutes, and is starting to fill up with water if we use it for too long. The trap is completely clean, and sometimes if we flush the toilet in the en-suite the shower gurgles, which makes me think the problem is way further down in the plumbing.

We've tried bicarbonate soda and vinegar (lots of it) as well as the following two cleaning products:
But neither seem to have had much effect.

I've tried the coat hanger hook trick but I can't get it very far due to the shower's design, also like I said I think the blockage is further down anyway.

Is there anything else we can try before calling a plumber?

Thanks
