We seem to have lost some pressure lately on the shower, which is fed from the hot water tank. Tap pressures all seem ok.
Any ideas before I call Dave the plumber (who's currently in Cyprus anyway)

Pressure or flow rate? If you have a flexible hose I'd be checking that isn't knackered and checking the showerhead isn't scaled up before calling a plumber.

Yeah I found even a tiny leak on the flexible hose on mine caused a huge drop in pressure at the shower head

Or possible the HW temp is down and the shower mixer is adjusting the flow to maintain a constant output temp. What type of shower is it?

Hot water temp is ok & the shower head is new. Dunno what 'type' of shower it is apart from a Mira, centre knob for flow/on & off & an outside ring for temp. 😳
It's not leaking from anywhere as far as I can see. Might change the flexi hose In case It's a bit scaled.
