I want to refurb our bathroom completely but am a little confused about fitting a new shower. The old shower was thrown out years ago when we moved in as it was dangerous to use ie very cold to scalding in less than a second :)

We have a problem with irratic low water pressure - Seven Trent as much use as a chocolate teapot.

Am I right in thinking that if I install another header tank in the loft I could use this to run a Thermostatic shower (without using hot water from the hot water tank) or would I be better using an Electric Shower. If the latter, would I need a pump to boost it or would gravity be enough?

The only pipe visible is a cold water pipe which I assume I can extend and use to fill a header tank.

For info the hot water tank is lower than the shower.
 
Thanks for that - looks just the job :)

I'll get a sparky in for the electrics - I suspect the current cable won't be enough - the guy that lived here before was real DIY muppet so I tend to get everything redone or checked anyway :)

Just one more question - how big a header tank would I need as a minimum?
