You can have a small instant electric water heater on the outlet of the

takes no space.

Yesterday, when I suggested that idea, you poo-pooed it.

You suggested a "storage electric heater" in place of a no lag combi (no
internal storage vessel or keep warm exchanger). Which is very different.
Having a storage heater in-line and using it to reduce the lag to the taps,
will not entail using a hell of lot of electricity as the water in the
electric storage vessel would be replaced by hot water from the combi. It
will use electricity to re-heat as it cools.

Best have an "instant" electric heater on the combi outlet as a backup, then
it will do a shower (well at least get you wet and washed).
