This is what you need to do phil wessex flange in the top of the cylinder one hot connection to the pump the other to the house hot supply, hot out the pump to your shower , a cold supply from the storage tank in the loft into the pump, a cold out of the pump to your shower fitted like this before and after pictures. This much the same as you have not a five minute job bud took me day and a half materials and labour look to pay £750+ if you get someone in cheers kop

Thanks very much for taking the time to post the above. I am guessing our houses were built by the same builders such is the similarity. The shower itself is already in with a cold water supply from the loft so I think i would just need a single pipe pump for the hot. I agree it is a swine of a job! Weighing up just using it as a second shower as you can shower in it, against the time and expense.
Thanks again.
 
Pictures are not my property phil its a customers they had said bathroom installer put nice new walk in shower and new sanitary ware in fully tiled floor to cieling only to find it just trickled out the shower their answer was you supplied the stuff we fitted it not our problem your hot and cold water system is not up to the job , bit beyond us get a plumber in which so i ended up sorting out for them , regarding your problem you will need a twin pump hot and cold bring the cold down through the pump then back up to connect to shower feed equal pressures on hot and cold then will sort it cheers kop
