We have a small 10ft tree (or tall single-shoot shrub) that currently has
red-green leaves and cerise flowers (luminous red, definitely not pink).
The flowers and leaves are cherry-like but the bark is not shiny.

Still sounds like a flowering cherry. Our dark-red-flowered red-leaved
cherries have dark, rather gnarled, bark

Right: cherry bark isn't always shiny. If it's a cherry, and not too
old, I imagine it'll have horizontal streaks on the bark. Probably
nothing like as extreme as the following picture, but that sort of
thing.
