I have mains fed cold supply going in to my bathroom and gravity fed hot.

The hot supply is vey low preassure resulting in an inadequate shower.

How can I boost the pressure to the shower? Can I fit a pump to the hot supply only?

Yes, you may need to fit a pressure reducing valve on the cold to equalise the pressures.
 
So I put a pressure reducing valve to the cold supply then I can fit a pump to the cold and hot leading in to the mixer shower?

How do I know that the pressure of the mains supplied cold is reduced sufficiently?
 
no you can't fit a pump to mains water its illegal.

better if you can keep the shower seperate.
on its own feeds cold from tank hot from cylinder causes less problems.
then fit a pump.

Your best option would be to have the pump in the airing cupboard at the base of the cylinder with dedicated hot and cold feed pipes, then 2 outlet pipes direct to the shower unit :)

Or you could always get an electric shower, fed from the cold mains in the bathroom already.

It's up to you.
