Increasing Flow for Bath Shower Attachment Drainage and wastage systems and plumbing help, advice and answers

[jamo6]

Have a flat and the bath taps have a shower attachment. Problem being the pressure is not strong enough to enable it to work properly (next to nothing in hot water). The system (please excuse my ignorance) has a water tank directly above a hot water tank which is at the same height approx as the shower head when in use.
A plumber reckons pipes need re-routing and shower pump and new shower, cost is £900! Basically I can't afford anythink like that. Can anyone suggest a much cheaper alternative please.

TIA

Afraid the plumber is right

Can you please expand on that conclusion? Why couldn't some sort of pump be plumbed in to increase the pressure?

As your plumber said you can fit a pump,don't know if you want details on fitting a pump

It is a small flat with pipes to kitchen and bathroom. The pipes to bath taps run through kitchen, the pipes (hot and cold) run parallel direct to bathroom sink and bath. What I do not understand is why say a Salamander pump could not be located in the kitchen to boost pressure in Bathroom and cost would be nothing like £900. Pipes would not need re-routing as the pipes are easily located and together.
Am I missing something fundamental?

does the airing cupboard adjoin the bathroom wall, if so it would be much easier,a separate cold feed from the cold water tank is needed and a hot feed from the cylinder going into the pump then to the bath/shower taps,the cost will depend on what part of the country you live,

without seeing the job and the airing cupboard is next door to the bathroom I would say where I live the cost should be about £400 to £500

Yes the wall is adjoining the bathroom. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions it is much appreciated and I have a clearer picture as to what is needed. I live in *******, £400 to £500 I would be prepared to pay! But not the £900 he wants. Time for more quotes!
