Ask your QuestionMy shower keeps running cold on me. It heats up alright at first but then goes cold after about 30 seconds to a minute. I have tried turning it up but I can't turn it up much more. Do I need a new one? How much is a new electric shower?

"It sounds to me like it’s the thermostat you can buy spares online but depending how much they are sometimes it’s cheaper to replace the shower and it also gives you a new guarantee."
