Default Could there be enough hot water pressure for a shower?

I think you'll be struggling with a gravity fed shower

Totally agree with Tim; from experience of header tank on floor above
giving a head of about 4'6", if that. This was not enough, until we
put in an Aqualisa. That gave lots of water at a low pressure.
Adequate but not ideal.

Complete re-plumb job eliminated header tank to make a pressurised
system. That is the way to go, if possible.

My query concerns a relation's flat in your situation. Could a single
electric pump power the cold AND the hot water from the header tank ?
