Hi. Can anyone help. My toilet isnt sending water to ‘all the way round the rim’ of that makes sense. When i flush. The bit furthest from the tank - water doesnt flush out of the rim there. Iv tried scrubbing. Iv tried uber lime/urine gels from amazon, iv even looked at youtube and figured out how to increase water in tank in case it was just a pressure thing. But nothings helped. Any ideas? Thanks!
 
If you are in a hard water area could well be limescale. Try something like Kilrock scale remover. The problem will be in blocking the pan outlet while filling the pan to the very brim. Try an old mop in a plastic bag as a bung.
 
If the flush seems weak, then it could be a partial blockage in outlet/flush pipe.
 
Has it ever ?

Thanks. Which kilrock. Theres gels and sprays and all kinda on amazon! The stuff iv already bought is ‘HG super powerful toilet cleaner’.
 
How old is the toilet?
Is it rimless or conventional style with rim?

If it's got a rim it could be that the holes are blocked where the water (should) comes out and may need unblocking with the end of a coat hanger or thin screwdriver or similar.
If you don't want to stick your head upside down in the bowl 🙃,, use a camera to take several photos around the underside of the rim

So - wee update. I did this. Whole bottle in. Warm water. Left it overnight to soak. Woke up to flooded bathroom + hall and thru floor and ceiling into kitchen below. Im guessing u didnt mean to leave it as long as i did…… 🙈
And - it didnt fekkkking clear the scale!!!!
Might try the gel….or might leave well alone!!!
 
Sounds like your flush valve is letting by or that the cistern is overflowing into the pan as well...
