You have both hot and cold currently being fed by a cold water storage tank up the loft? (via a cylinder for the hot water)
First thing make sure that any flow restrictors have been removed from the shower.. sometimes they come with the ones for mains pre-installed so you get a dribble from gravity... and obviously make sure all valves are fully open.
Second ensure that the water is being fed to the shower the right way round.... if not your in schtick.... hot should go in to the left most prob, check your book though.
right if these don't work...... improve the water pressure.... you can either raise the hight of the tanks.... if you can...
Or you can fit a shower pump and make it a power shower.... you much have a minimum cold water tank size to suit the pump and you may need a surrey flange and stuff...but you do get a power shower at the end of the day....
make sure you fit that bad boy with an RCD otherwise the part p police will be breathing down your ear
if not swap your service fuse to a 100A, and warm up your cables with a 11.5KW,
