Electric Shower Installation in Burslem
Leaks, re-seals, tile and grout repairs, shower swaps and quick fixes.
Electric showers are only as good as the cable feeding them. A 10.5kW unit on an older Burslem 6mm cable will nuisance-trip or worse — the swap is straightforward, the electrical check isn't optional.
We check the incoming cable, MCB rating and RCD protection before quoting the unit. If the run needs upgrading to 10mm, we say so upfront and quote it in — not as a "surprise" on day two.
If you're weighing up bathroom repairs in Burslem, the local detail matters more than the brochure spec.

Electric Shower Installation FAQs — Burslem
- Which kW rating suits a Burslem bathroom?
- 8.5–9.5kW for one-bath households, 10.5kW where you want stronger winter flow. All need the right cable and MCB — we confirm this on the survey.
- Can you upgrade the cable if it's too small?
- Yes — we run a 10mm feed in surface trunking or chased-in, and terminate at the CU with a suitable MCB. Part P notified on any Burslem job.
- How long does the install take?
- 2–4 hours for a straight swap; half a day where a new cable run is needed. All commissioned and tested with an electrical installation certificate.
- Do electric showers work with any water pressure?
- Yes — they only need cold mains, which is why they're common on Burslem combi and gravity systems. Minimum 1 bar dynamic pressure at the unit.
- Can you just re-seal around our bath?
- Yes — a fresh sanitary-grade silicone re-seal on a Burslem bath or tray takes around an hour and is usually fixed-price per perimeter.
- Do you provide a fixed-price quote before starting?
- Always. After a free home visit in Burslem we send a fully itemised, fixed-price quotation — no surprises on invoice day.
