The figure depends on whether the existing cable and breaker can carry the new unit, or whether a dedicated circuit needs to be run from the consumer unit. - Electric shower installation: Price on request - Mounting the shower unit and connecting it to a suitable existing circuit is covered in the base price. - A new cable run back to the consumer unit, a thicker cable size or a larger circuit breaker is priced separately. - Water pipework changes, tiling and wall repairs are not included. - You receive a clear written quote before work begins, with no hidden costs. ## Electric shower installation across Burton upon Trent We serve Burton upon Trent from our base in Swadlincote. - Horninglow - Stapenhill - Winshill - Branston - Stretton - Shobnall - Brizlincote - Anglesey - DE13 - DE14 - DE15 ## What happens on the day Fitting an electric shower starts with checking the cable and circuit breaker that will feed it. The visit then moves through isolation, mounting, wiring and testing in that order. ### Cable and breaker check The existing shower cable and consumer unit are checked first. A higher kilowatt shower draws more current, so undersized cable or a small breaker is flagged before any fitting work starts. ### Isolation and mounting Power to the shower circuit is switched off at the consumer unit. The shower housing is fixed level to the bathroom wall and sealed against moisture. ### Wiring and ceiling switch Supply cables are terminated into the shower's internal block, and the ceiling pull cord switch is fitted or checked so the unit can be cut off from the power for maintenance. ### Testing before handover Power is restored and test instruments confirm earth continuity, insulation resistance and correct operation of the residual current device, the safety switch that cuts power quickly in a fault. The work area is left clean and tidy. ## Questions about electric showers ### Do you install electric showers in Burton upon Trent? Yes.

Telephone calls are answered any time, day or night. A visit date for your electric shower installation in Burton upon Trent is confirmed when you book. ### Can I swap my old shower for a more powerful one? Yes. The existing cable thickness and breaker rating are checked first, because a higher kilowatt shower draws more current. If the cable is too small, a thicker cable is run from the consumer unit so it does not overheat. ### Can I have an electric shower where there was not one before? Yes. A new electric shower needs its own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, protected by a residual current device and controlled by a ceiling pull cord switch. Adding a circuit in a bathroom is notifiable work under Part P of the Building Regulations in England. ### What size cable does an electric shower need? Most showers rated between 8.5kW and 10.5kW need either 6mm or 10mm twin and earth cable. The right size depends on the kilowatt rating, the distance from the consumer unit and how the cable is run. ## Other services in Burton upon Trent - [Electrician in Burton upon Trent](https://www.re-energizeelectrical.co.uk/electrician-burton-upon-trent): Electrician in Burton upon Trent for rewires, consumer units, EICRs and lighting.
