[Closed] Any plumbers in? water pressure content

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.
