How do I fix low water pressure in my shower?

Low shower pressure is often caused by limescale blocking the showerhead. Check whether other taps are also weak to see if the problem is bigger.

If only the shower is affected, start with the showerhead.

Clean the showerhead

Unscrew it and soak it in white vinegar for a few hours, then scrub the nozzles and rinse. Reattach with plumber's tape on the thread.

Check the supply

Make sure the isolation valves are fully open and the hose is not kinked.

Wider problems

If all taps are weak, the issue may be your supply, a faulty pressure valve or a leak. Contact a plumber or your water provider.
