Full service detail and the installation specification on our parent Electric Shower Install page.
Shepton Mallet (BA4) is home to the Royal Bath & West showground and a mix of Victorian terraces, modern estates around Charlton Road, and rural villages out to Pilton, Evercreech and Doulting. Period properties round the Market Place often have tight, awkward bathrooms and original immersion installs that need a full rethink rather than a like-for-like swap.

We don't publish a price list because shower jobs vary a lot. The price depends on the shower's kW rating, the cable size and length of run back to the consumer unit, and whether the board has a spare way or needs replacing. A like-for-like swap on a sound circuit is a smaller job than a new circuit. You get a fixed written quote for your job once we know what it involves.
Yes. We're 12 minutes from Shepton, do regular work on properties around the Royal Bath & West showground, and are familiar with the equestrian, agricultural and rural-business setups in BA4. Outdoor sockets, hot tubs in stable yards and farm-office wiring are part of our routine work.
Up to 8.5kW we use 6mm cable on a 32A breaker. From 9.5kW upwards (which is most modern showers) we use 10mm on a 40A breaker. Volt drop and run length matter too, for runs over 20m we'll often size up regardless. The shower manufacturer's manual sets the minimum, and we calculate the rest at survey.
BS 7671 Section 701 prohibits switches and sockets in Bathroom Zones 0, 1 and 2 (other than IP-rated specific products). A ceiling-mounted pull-cord is the standard way to isolate the shower without breaching zone rules. It's double-pole, located outside the danger zones, and lets you isolate the shower for cleaning or fault-finding without going to the consumer unit.
