Thanks to all who replied - I will try more pumping etc, as well as hot water -
but any chemical remedies?

If the blockage is within the pan and under water, then chemicals (the
usual caustic or acid remedies) might help.

However, if it's in the soil pipe, partial and perhaps at the top of
the pipe, then chemicals may well not reach it.

If the hot water approach doesn't work, I think that I would be
inclined to remove the pan next and gain direct access to the pipe and
pan.
