Hot Shower Whenever You Want
Electric showers heat water as you use it. No waiting for hot water, no boiler dependency. Proper installation means safe, powerful showers. Right cable, right breaker, right certification.
💡 Pro tip: Higher kW showers give better water pressure and hotter water. If your current shower is weak, upgrading the unit (and possibly the supply) makes a huge difference.

Electric shower installation is not DIY:
⚠️ Why you can't do this yourself
- Part P notifiable work

- Bathroom electrics are dangerous
- Wrong installation kills
- No certificate = problems selling
📐 What you can do
- Choose your shower unit
- Decide on position

💡 Pro tip: If upgrading power, tell us your current shower's kW rating. We can check if existing wiring copes or needs upgrading before ordering parts.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do electric showers need special wiring?
Yes - they're high powered (usually 8.5-10.5kW) and need dedicated circuits, appropriate cable size, and their own breaker. It's not a plug-in job - proper electrical work.
What about plumbing?
Electric showers heat mains cold water, so only need cold supply. We handle the plumbing connection too - one visit, everything done.
Can I upgrade my existing shower?
If you're going up in power (say 8.5kW to 10.5kW), the wiring may need upgrading too. We check what's there and advise. Often it's fine, sometimes it's not.
Why Part P certification?
Bathroom electrics are notifiable work - Part P means we certify the work to Building Control. You get paperwork that proves it's safe and legal.
