The key fact here is your water pressure and flow to the building, the system you have is irrelevant when fitting a combi as it relies on the incoming water pressure. So the pressure and flow you get from your cold tap is all you will get from a combi. For example your bath fills slower with a combi. If you want a really powerful shower then most people retain the gravity fed tank and cylinder and fit a pump unit, that will give flow and pressure depending on the pump you fit. You can get power showers with pumps in but again many do not work with a combi., and electric power showers such as the Triton Aspirante Power Shower work at 14 litres a minute which is mains pressure. Hope this helps you

Hello It depends on the type of shower, if it is electric our advice is to replace the same and replacement costs start at around £ 160 + vat for a basic shower. If the shower is a mixer valve or bar, the fault may be in the seals, in our experience they never repair perfectly as the body of the shower wears, this then leads to customer dissatisfaction with the cost of the repair, so again we recommend replacement, the cost would be £ 250 + vat upwards depending on type of shower.
