anyone on here able to fit a shower pump for me?

I despise tenants , but Tomcat, it's against the law to rent residential premises to someone where the water and water heating facilities are insufficient.
Write to the landlord or agent saying the shower doesn't work and they'll have to send a plumber round. Let him work out how to fx it because he might well recommend a new boiler or power shower, which they'll probably do.

( I don't really despise tenants btw)

I own the house and it is in fantastic condition from top to bottom, I would just like my nephew to have a more powerful shower

Where is the water feeder tank to the boiler? Could that be raised significantly?
It's really easy to fit a pump to the water pipe for the shower. What is the problem here?

The water tank is in the loft, but probably only about 2 foot higher than the shower head. Originally the plumber replaced it with a new mixer shower with a rainfall head just below the ceiling and a smaller one below which was hopeless as the tube was huge. He swapped it for a mixer with just one smaller head but the flow is still pretty crap. The airing cupboard has tons of room, and every pipe is individually labelled with what looks like a luggage label, along with a diagram in the wall

Probably that's the root of the problem. For any pressure in the system you've got, the feeder tank has to be higher than the shower head (but I'm guessing you know that) - and the higher the tank the better the pressure. In my house, before we changed the system, the feeder tank was in the loft and raised by polystyrene blocks resting on the joists, so that the water level in the feeder tank was raised. It's all to do with the measurement between the level of the top of the water in the tank and the shower head. It should be a minimum of a metre.

You'll see some fixes here for the problem.
Raising the level of the tank is easy, as I've described, providing you've got the space in the loft.
Fitting a pump is just a matter of connecting the pump to the hot water feed and making an electrical connection. Simples.
Or you could just fit an electric shower, connecting to the mains.
