What type of pump...?
Shower Pump?
Negative or Positive head?
Central Heating circulation pump?
Full house water system pressure boosting pump?
Replacing an old one or something completely new?
Need a little bit more information regarding what it is for.

Sorry I didn't realise I was being so vague! Basically have a combi boiler downstairs and two showers upstairs, one electric one normal. Both have low pressure, the electric is a bit better but not great. The other one is pretty much unuseable. The hot water tank is on the same floor (there's no pump next to it or anything) and some other kind of tanks upstairs in the converted attic. I'm presuming getting a pump next to the tank (I've seen in apartments) would help the problem? I've only just bought and moved into the house so not fully aware of the set up. Thanks, Griff

From the set up that you describe, I would think you need a brass twin impeller Positive Head water pressure boosting pump.
Normally this would be located in your hot-press on the floor beside the cylinder.
Price is hard to gauge as it would depend on how much pipework adjustment would be involved. Est cost for Stuart Turner pump, pipework, labour etc about 800.00 - 850.00 inc vat with a 5 year warranty on the pump.

You have a combi boiler *and* a hot water cylinder? Are you sure? What do you do when you want hot water in the kitchen sink, say?

I would really get a plumber to look at the whole thing to see what sort of pump is appropriate.

You can't really pump the existing electric shower.

You can get a smaller pump to serve only the conventional shower, and this might be an option. This might be a little cheaper than the option above, but not that much, and it really depends on the plumbing setup.

Missed the "combi" boiler bit, (well it was 2.30 in the morning when I replied )
As Antoinolachtnai says above, with that in the equation, it would just be best to get a plumber in to survey the system for you and work out your best options.
