Electric Shower Installation in Fenton
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 Fenton 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.
We've fitted bathroom repairs in Fenton long enough to know the houses inside out.

Electric Shower Installation FAQs — Fenton
- Which kW rating suits a Fenton 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 Fenton 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 Fenton combi and gravity systems. Minimum 1 bar dynamic pressure at the unit.
- How quickly can you start a job in Fenton?
- Lead time is usually two to five weeks from a confirmed quote, depending on the spec and our current schedule across the Staffordshire side.
- Do you tidy up at the end of each day?
- Yes — dust sheets stay down, the room is hoovered daily and we leave your Fenton home liveable while the work runs.
