We currently have an electric shower fed with mains cold this mains cold is really bad pressure coming into the shower resulting in really poor pressure from electric shower. We have a gravity fed system what's the best and cheapest way to get a decent pressured shower fed from our gravity fed system?
 
Do you want best or cheapest? Can’t have both.

A shower pump is usually the best way to do this.
I would recommend a Mira event, (integral pump) you will need to get hot and gravity fed cold to unit. Cold feed directly from tank in roof, hot supply from cylinder via Surrey flange or below expansion tee. Also to prevent tank running dry (power shower emitting more water than the ball valve can replace into tank) you will need an extra tank. Also electric supply directly to shower unit.
