My Mum has an upside down house (living room, kitchen & main bedroom/shower room upstairs - main bathroom and bedrooms downstairs) with a traditional vented hot water cylinder downstairs.
There is a pump that supplies the 'high pressure' hot water to the shower in the downstairs bathroom which works fine.
In her shower room upstairs is an electric shower that has packed in. I would like to get rid of the electric shower if possible as the flow was never much good.

Would it be OK to run a new hot water feed from the output side of the downstairs pump up to her shower room upstairs and fit a 'traditional' shower instead of the electric one?
If so, is it just a question of tee'ing into the existing output pipework and could this be done in plastic rather than copper?

There is a pretty good route from the pump location up to the roofspace above her shower so I can't see an issue from this side of the equation.

you should be able to get a tee piece plastic that will fit the existing pipework and tee off to the shower upstairs. if you find out what model pump it is you should be able to find details of it on the web and find out if its capable of doing what you want it too.
