I can't see the point of changing all the pipe sizes unless there is a problem with flow, such as to the shower or bath. Oversizing all the other pipes and fittings only increases the opportunity to waste water and waste heat.
I have just fitted free low flow aerators to the basin taps, they may save a few pence off the water bill https://watersavingdevices.thameswater.co.uk/

Looking to add a pump to the shower as flow isn't that great. Also fluid dynamics ;) looking to add filters to the drinking water and that will restrict the flow.

If you have decent pressure but poor flow then just increasing pipe size from mains to hot water to shower may solve the problem.

Have you measured the flow rate as any better elsewhere in the house? Tank or mains fed? And if the latter, lead into the house or plastic?
