Default Converting low pressure to high pressure domestic water

I am rebuilding a bathroom next year and beginning to scope it out.
These days finding taps that run on low pressure is quite difficult so
I am thinking of replacing the hot water cylinder with one that would
take high pressure and taking out the tank in the roof space. I
presume it would still be heated indirectly from the boiler which is
1.5 storeys below. That would also solve a problem in the kitchen where
the cold is on the mains and the hot is on low pressure. At one time
mixer taps were available where this worked (eg KWC) - have they all
gone now?


In the bathroom if this is too difficult/expensive I might keep the
Ideal Standard brassware - only 27 years old and working perfectly
still.


Any pitfalls here?


Might be easier to simply add a pump.
