Hi,

New bathroom suite being fitted, bath taps just been plumbed in but the water flow from them is pathetic - would take 30 mins to fill a bath!
Plumber said that the taps I purchased (chrome 1/4 turn flat spout mixer), have the pipes inside reduced too small.
Querying whether or not plumbing the taps in to the shower pump (being plumbed tomorrow), will help or not as it won't inrease the physical amount of water that can be pumped, but it will increase the speed/pressure it comes out.

Any advice or ideas?

Doesnt sound like your taps are suitable for a low pressure system if you are on a cylinder, change them for low pressure taps.
 
Yeah, taps are the problem, but holes have been drilled in bath and taps plumbed in now!
Will plumbing them in to the pump help?
 
No reason why you cant plumb your bath taps into the shower pump.
