Poor water pressure

My house is at the top of the hill.
In the loft conversion, so at the top of the house is a shower room.
The electric shower is almost useless because it keeps cutting out due to low pressure, especially at high-demand times of the day, eg 8am.
There is no room to fit a holding tank from which to pump water to the shower.
I'm told that I must not pump the mains supply but.... the shower uses so little in terms of water flow, it just needs a bit of a boost to get the pressure up to keep the shower unit switched on.
So, could I fit a little pump in the supply to the shower?
I can't see that any vacuum would be induced.
I just need someone to give me that clever solution that I can't think of!!
 
You need an accumulator fitted. Simond is probably best placed to explain these and their benefits
