Hi,I understand that the hot water pressure in the bathroom is very low ,if that's the case then you should have a hot water cylinder (Tank) somewhere in the property (usually in a first floor cupboard ) therefore it's a gravity system and the low pressure could be caused by an air lock or a small blockage in the hot water supply pipe. If after inspection these 2 were ruled out then a pressure booster pump will be a good option to cure the problem . I hope all the above can assist you get a general idea . Regards

Does your boiler have a filling loop connected? You should find a small tap/nob under the boiler which will allow water into the system. When you allow water into the boiler the pressure gauge should rise. It wants to be 1.5bar. If your boiler keeps losing pressure consider your boiler to have a leak and call a heating engineer.
