    Low mains water pressure

    1.5m is roughly 0.1bar and this is very very little. So the answer is - this is nothing to do with the height... there is something else wrong (i.e PRV or blocked inlet) Unless, basin Tap and shower are fed from different sources Maybe the mixer is broken?

    Low mains water pressure

    to me, it looks like the cold inlet to the mixer simply needs to be cleaned How the heck hot water has higher pressure than cold water if not some rubbish in the cold water inlet... or, there are some PRVs and they are not in sync...
