A boiler an unvented cylinder is the best setup if you have the space and budget.
If its only one bathroom you may be ok with a combi.

It all depends on your budget, expectations and the flow & pressure available
 
If you want low tech, low spec, low performance then stick with the usual names. If you want state of the art, you have to use non UK products. Japan has some amazing products that are sold into the UK and can be bought on the UK. The worlds largest manufactuer by volume of combi boilers is a well kept secret in the UK My other advice would be never ask a*heating engineer", do your own research.

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks

Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.
