If the shower in your Wath upon Dearne home swings between hot and cold, a thermostatic valve is usually the fix. If you want a shower in your Wath upon Dearne home that works when the boiler is off, an electric shower is worth considering, as long as the consumer unit can take the circuit.

What the job includes
- Supply and fitting of the shower valve or unit, riser rail, handset or fixed head
- For an electric shower, a check of the consumer unit and whether a new dedicated circuit is needed
- Electrical connection by a qualified electrician, tested and certified
- Tiling or re-tiling around the shower, with tanking behind new tiles in the wet area
Decisions to make first
Power shower
A mixer with a built-in pump, for tank-fed systems only. It lifts a weak gravity shower but must never be connected to the mains.
Exposed or concealed
An exposed bar valve fixes onto the tiles and is easy to service. A concealed valve sits in the wall for a cleaner look but needs careful setting-out and a plan for access.
Rules that apply in England
In England, an electric shower usually needs its own dedicated circuit, often 40 to 45 amps for an 8.5 to 10.5 kW unit, and a new circuit is notifiable under Part P. The Part G limit of 48 °C applies to a new bath in a new dwelling or one created by change of use, not to a shower, but a thermostatic valve gives similar protection. An unvented cylinder fitted to improve the shower must be installed by a G3-qualified installer.
