How Our Electric Shower Fitting Process Works

Fitting an electric shower safely is not a simple DIY job. Our comprehensive installation process ensures everything from water flow to electrical load is handled correctly.Initial Assessment: We evaluate your current mains water supply and check your existing electrical cable sizing to ensure it can safely handle your chosen kilowatt (kW) rating.Water Pressure Testing: We test your flow rate. If pressure issues are detected, we can advise on practical solutions or shower pump installation.Safe Installation: We fit the unit, ensuring the correct placement of the isolation valve and compliance with both electrical and plumbing building regulations.Final Checks: Once installed, we thoroughly test the shower for leaks, temperature consistency, and flow before leaving your bathroom spotless.

Protecting Your Shower from Wiltshire Hard Water

Living in Corsham means dealing with notorious Wiltshire hard water. Over time, limescale builds up on the internal heating elements of electric showers, causing them to overheat, lose pressure, or fail completely.Because we operate locally within a 20-mile radius of Frome, we understand exactly how local water conditions affect domestic plumbing. We recommend and fit shower units designed with scale-resistant technology, helping to extend the lifespan of your appliance. If limescale has completely blocked your system, we also offer complete shower repair and installation services.

Building Regulations and WRAS Compliance Explained

When electricity and water are in close proximity, safety cannot be compromised. As highly trained local plumbers, BC Plumbing ensures every electric shower installation adheres strictly to UK Building Regulations.We only use WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) approved fittings, from the stopcock and isolation valves right through to the shower unit itself. Our G3 Certification and extensive training mean we are fully qualified to work on properties with complex unvented hot water systems, ensuring your new shower integrates perfectly without compromising your broader plumbing network. You can rest easy knowing every job is backed by our comprehensive Public Liability Insurance.

Why is my electric shower pressure suddenly so low?

A sudden drop in shower pressure is a frequent problem in Corsham households. Often, this is caused by a degraded microswitch, a blocked showerhead due to limescale, or an underlying issue with your mains water supply.If the heating element fails, the shower's thermal switch will cut the power to prevent boiling water from escaping, resulting in a lukewarm or completely cold shower. Before assuming you need a brand-new unit, let us take a look. We can diagnose whether a simple part replacement is needed or if a complete upgrade is the most cost-effective, long-term solution. For broader water pressure problems across the house, we also provide dedicated water pressure repair.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our WRAS-compliant electric shower installation and plumbing services in Frome, Somerset & Wiltshire.

Can I replace my old mixer shower with an electric one?

+

Yes, it is usually possible, but it requires running a new cold water feed from the mains and a dedicated electrical cable from your fuse board. We can assess your bathroom and tell you exactly what would be involved in making the switch.

Why does my electric shower keep going cold?

+

This is often caused by a drop in water pressure or a failing heating element. In our area, limescale is a common culprit. If the internal filter is blocked or the element is scaled up, the safety cut-out may trigger, causing the water to go cold. We can often fix this with a thorough service or by replacing the faulty component.

Does a higher kilowatt shower mean more pressure?

+

Not exactly, but a higher kW rating (like 9.5kW or 10.5kW) can heat more water per minute. This means you get a better flow rate, especially in the winter when the incoming mains water is much colder. It feels like more pressure because more water is coming through the head.

How long does it take to install a replacement shower?

+

If we are swapping like-for-like—meaning the plumbing and wiring are already in place—we can usually have the job finished in about an hour or two. If it’s a brand-new installation where we have to run new pipes, it will take longer. We always give you a clear timeframe before we start.
