Help bath mixer taps with shower low pressure

[Sacul]

Hi.
I'm having issues with my bath taps. I moved into a new house which only has a bath, I noticed that the pressure from both hot and cold taps on the bath is really good so I purchased mixer taps with a shower on them.
I've never changed a tap before so decided how hard could it be..... After a few leaks a busted knee, elbow and ripped tshirt.. it was harder than I thought. I got it done though but the pressure is stupidly low. Before with the 2 single taps I could fill the bath in minutes. Now with the new mixer it takes about 20+ minutes and the shower has no pressure either.

Have I done something wrong or is the problem with the taps? I just don't understand how something with such high pressure can change to literally nothing.

Thanks

Like a power shower?

Power shower, pump, combi boiler, unvented cylinder. The world is your oyster if you have the urge (and money) to sort it

I do have the urge but not the money haha

Quite understand. What kind of budget might you have?

Well really I got these taps because they were cheap but obviously the wrong ones so I either replace my new taps with my old ones and just buy a shower which I think fitting myself will be a nightmare as I have no soldering experience plus would need to buy the tools to do it or buy new taps with a shower and pray. I really don't know what to do. At this moment in time I could probably squeeze 200. I've just spent around 1500 redecorating and furnishing the kids rooms so funds are running low

I think you will struggle to get a satisfactory Answer for £200

 

[Sacul]

How much do you think I would need. I would rather save the money and do it properly

Are we charging for advice now? 😛😛😛

How about the 2 bar version of this pump connected to the hot and cold under the bath. Would that work?

 

[Riley]

Depends what you are hoping to achieve. Super duper shower or just an electric option that heats itself and works off mains

 

[Sacul]

I want the super duper option please 🙂

 

[Riley]

Then it will cost, likely youre needing an unvented cylinder and potentially a new mains

Also don’t put a pump under the bath. You can fit one yourself but read Mis

Yea maybe I'll go for the slightly less super duper for now until I can afford to do that. What's Mis?

Thanks for the help. I think I'll try a pump for now as I think that might be my easiest option.
