A professionally installed electric shower offers an instant, on-demand supply of hot water, completely independent of your main boiler or hot water cylinder.By using an experienced Melksham plumber, you also protect your manufacturer's warranty.

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.
