Electric Shower Installation in Newcastle-under-Lyme
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 Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
What makes bathroom repairs in Newcastle-under-Lyme different from a generic install is how we plan around the building it's going into.
