oh look another informative post from an experienced plumber heating engineer
what was it again goldberk you do what
========================================================
it sounds as if you do not have enough head of water above the shower rose
can you raise the tank in the loft
other option is a pump
Think what Goldberg was trying to say is have you brought taps that are designed for high pressure rather than gravity fed.If the flow rate was fine before then I would say you have brought incorrectly.
You could raise the level of the tank or fit a pump or you could buy the right taps!

Q: Is the HW only a trickle from the new taps AND the tower (power?) shower, or just from the shower?

Yes - that is my view, but the point of my post was to bring the OP;s attention to the fact that TicklyT had asked the right questions, but they hadn't all been answered.
This issue of new taps with tiny waterways crops up again and again, and retailers just don't seem to ask responsible questions before selling the taps.
Quite right!
checked with the retailer regarding basin mixer tap and all brassware came with the Tower shower. There are no kinks in the flexy pipes and have ran water to see if there is an airlock but still no luck.
