  • Change from Electric to Mixer Shower

    We have a standalone electric shower that has stopped working. We believe this is due to the electrics or the coil as there is no water coming out from the wall mounted box. We ideally would like to change the electric shower to a traditional mixer shower, but we would like to know whether we need a plumber or an electrician or both to complete this job? Or is it simpler just to change to a new electric shower and have an engineer come out and replace it?

    Shower pump not working

    Our shower pump has completely stopped running. There's no sound from it at all when the shower is turned on. Is this likely to be the pump itself or could it be something else?
