Electric shower installation in Monmouth
- 01
Why the circuit matters
Electric showers draw a lot of current, so they need their own circuit straight from the consumer unit. The cable has to be thick enough for the shower's power rating, with RCD protection and a pull-cord or wall switch to isolate it outside the shower area.

Upgrading to a stronger shower
Swapping an older 8.5kW shower for a 9.5kW or 10.5kW model often means a thicker cable and a bigger breaker, not just a new unit on the wall. We check your existing cable and consumer unit and tell you if the circuit needs upgrading.

Water and safety zones
Bathrooms are split into zones around the bath and shower, and each zone has rules about which fittings can go there. We place the shower, switch and any lighting so they meet those rules. If plumbing is needed too, we'll tell you before you book.
What to expect from an electric shower installation
We ask about the shower you've chosen or recommend one, then check the route for the cable, the consumer unit and the earthing. You get a free quote covering the circuit, isolator and connection, so you know the full cost before any work is booked.
On the day, we run the new cable, fit the isolator switch and connect the circuit to the consumer unit. Once the shower is connected, we test the circuit and RCD, check it works properly and give you an Electrical Installation Certificate for the new circuit.

Electric shower installation questions
How much does an electric shower installation cost in Monmouth?
It depends on whether there's already a suitable circuit, how far the cable runs from the consumer unit and whether the board needs work. A straight swap on a good circuit costs far less than a new circuit. We give you a free quote after checking.
Can I replace my electric shower with a more powerful one in Monmouth?
Often, yes, but the existing cable may not be rated for the extra power. Fitting a bigger shower on a cable that's too thin can cause overheating. We check the cable and breaker first and tell you if an upgrade is needed before you buy.
Does a new electric shower circuit in Monmouth need certifying?
Yes. A new shower circuit is notifiable work, so building control must be told. We do that for you through NAPIT, and you get an Electrical Installation Certificate. A like-for-like shower swap on an existing suitable circuit normally isn't notifiable, but the circuit still needs testing to prove it's safe.
Why does my electric shower keep tripping the power near Monmouth?
Common causes are a failing heating element, water getting into the unit, a loose connection or a cable that's undersized for the shower. Stop using it and call us. We test the shower and circuit to find the cause, then repair or replace whatever has failed.
