Electric shower repairs in London
Silver Saints repair and replace electric showers across London. Dead, cutting out, weak or leaking. Repairs by time, or a new shower supplied and fitted for £299 plus VAT.
Plus parts. No call-out fee. Saturday at the weekday rate. Estimate before we start.
A new electric shower, like-for-like on the existing cable and pipe positions. One price, no hourly clock.
What we fix
London water is hard, and scale is behind most electric shower failures. We find the cause first, then tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the better spend.
An electric shower that is dead
Nothing at all when you pull the cord, traced back from the isolator to the unit.
Runs hot then cuts out
Almost always a scaled element tripping the thermal cut-out inside the unit.
Weak flow
A blocked inlet filter, a failing solenoid or a restricted cold feed.
Like-for-like replacement
A new shower fitted for a fixed price on the existing cable and pipe positions.
A leaking shower unit
The failed seal or fitting found, so the water stops before it reaches the ceiling below.
A noisy shower unit
Rattling, humming or knocking from the unit or the feed under load.
Scale damage
The element assembly replaced, and a scale reducer fitted so it does not repeat.
Upgrade to a higher kW
Checked first: the cable, the RCD and the isolator all have to suit the rating.
No hot water at the shower only
The rest of the house fine but the shower cold, which points straight at the unit.
We work on electric shower units from Mira, Triton, Aqualisa and others, including heating elements, thermal cut-outs, solenoids and PCBs, and on the dedicated shower circuit, RCD and pull-cord isolator, the mains cold feed and scale reducers.
If a job needs a new or re-rated circuit, which an upgrade to a higher kW usually does, that is notifiable work and one of our NICEIC registered electricians does it. See specialist electrical installations.
Different job? For a mixer or thermostatic shower see fixing faulty showers. For a switch or isolator see sockets and switches, and for water escaping at the tray see resealing baths and shower trays.
What it costs
Repairs are charged by time, plus parts, with an estimate before we start. Where replacement is the right option, a new electric shower is supplied and fitted for a fixed £299 plus VAT.
Where we cover
We cover all London boroughs plus the TW, KT, CR and BR postcode areas. London is a hard water area, so scaled elements and tripping cut-outs are the most common fault we see. Engineers cross central London by motorcycle and scooter, which means faster arrival and easier parking.
Landlords and letting agents
No hot shower is an urgent tenant complaint. We arrange access with your tenant or collect keys from your agent, so you do not need to attend.
The fixed £299 plus VAT replacement price makes the decision simple when a scaled unit is not worth repairing again.
Account invoicing and pre-approved spend limits are set out on our landlord services page.
The regulations that apply
An electric shower sits on its own dedicated circuit, and installing that circuit is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations, carried out to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations.
The cable size, the RCD and the isolator must all suit the shower rating, which is why an upgrade to a higher kW unit is checked before it is quoted.
For you that means we will not fit a bigger shower onto a circuit that cannot carry it, however much easier that would be.
Why Silver Saints
We are a managed service, not a bidding app: every Saint is a vetted professional we know personally, not a login on a marketplace.
Electric shower FAQs
Can you repair my electric shower today in London?
Often yes. Silver Saints usually has same or next day slots for electric shower repair in London, and every booking carries a one-hour arrival window.
How much does electric shower repair cost in London?
Repairs are charged by time at £60 plus VAT for the first 30 minutes, then £30 plus VAT thereafter, plus parts. There is no call-out fee.
How much is a new electric shower fitted?
£299 plus VAT, supplied and fitted, as a fixed price. That is a like-for-like replacement using the existing cable and pipe positions.
Why does my electric shower run hot then go cold?
Almost always a scaled element tripping the thermal cut-out. Silver Saints replaces the element assembly and can fit a scale reducer so it does not repeat.
Why is the flow from my electric shower weak?
Usually a blocked inlet filter, a failing solenoid or a restricted cold feed. Silver Saints checks each in turn rather than replacing the unit first.
Is it worth repairing or should I replace it?
If the unit is old or heavily scaled, replacement is usually better value. Silver Saints supplies and fits a new electric shower for £299 plus VAT.
Are you a job-board app like the marketplaces?
We are not a job-board app. Unlike marketplaces that match your job to the cheapest available bidder, Silver Saints contracts its own team of experienced, vetted, multi-skilled tradespeople, people we know personally and work with directly. From booking to billing, you get one accountable service and a real relationship, not an anonymous login from a gig-economy pool.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Silver Saints gives a 12-month guarantee on labour and on parts we supply for electric shower work in London, against faulty workmanship or failed parts.
