Ask your neighbours in the building what they have. If they have a non-pumped electric shower and the pressure is OK, you could probably do the same.
Depends on neighours' judgement vs OP's.

Madrab - as I said above - we are in flats - mansion flats - so cold water is coming off the building's cold water tank.
Thanks endecotp - we installed the electric shower because the hot runs cold for a very long time before it turns to hot because we live in large mansion block of flats and the hot water comes from a communal boiler a long way away. That is why we ran a special cable with it's own switch out side the bathroom, took cable under floor floors, removed rows of wall tiles, embedded the cable, retiled the wall to hide cable and also disconnected the previous existing hot water supply to shower and embedded the existing hot water pipe (for previous shower that was there). That is why we do not want to go back to non-electric shower (because water runs cold for too long). Thanks though.
How long does it take for the hot water side to get hot?
Its cold feed only... No hot water side to the shower.
Do you have access to the pipe which supplies the shower? Is it separated from the other pipework? If so, you could put a pump elsewhere where it would cause less disturbance, and have a standard electric showerThanks endecotp - we installed the electric shower because the hot runs cold for a very long time before it turns to hot because we live in large mansion block of flats and the hot water comes from a communal boiler a long way away.
