Hi
I recently put a new bathroom in. I didnt really mess about with the plumbing (just installed bath/shower etc. to old fittings) but after this the hot water has dropped in the bath/basin and mixer shower.
I couldnt figure out how to fix it so got the plumbers around and they have said that it is not easily fixable due to the fact it is a gravity fed/warm air heating unit.
They said they could remove the warm air heating and install a combi/boiler central heating but with a wedding coming up I cant afford that for a good while.
They said I could put a shower pump in but would be about £300 for them and another £300 for the electrician.
I am wondering if a standard electric shower would improve the shower flow at least. I am confident I could connect the water as would just be closing off the old hot water pipe and connecting it to the cold but dont think would feel confident wiring it in.
Would an electric shower improve the water flow and if so any ideas on how big a job getting it wired in would be (would I have to take off all my new tiles)?
Thanks for any help. Is much appreciated.
