Electric Shower Installation in Banstead
TMB Electrics fits and replaces electric showers across Banstead and Surrey, checking the circuit and cable can carry the shower you want and certifying the work.
Electric showers and their circuits
- An electric shower is the biggest single load in most homes. The cable, the breaker and the isolator switch all have to match the shower's rating.
- A new shower is often more powerful than the old one, so the circuit has to be checked before it is connected.
- Needs its own circuit from the fuse board, a pull cord in the bathroom and an isolator.
- Electrical work in a bathroom is notifiable, so the job comes with a certificate.
What the installation covers
The electrical side of the shower: circuit, isolation and connection.
Included when agreed
- Checking the existing circuit and breaker against the shower rating
- Connecting the shower and fitting or replacing the pull cord isolator
- Testing and a certificate for the work
Not included automatically
- Plumbing, tiling and the shower unit itself unless agreed
- A new circuit or fuse board upgrade, which is quoted separately
What happens on the day
A replacement on a suitable circuit takes a couple of hours.
- 01
Check the circuit
The cable size, breaker and RCD are checked against the new shower.
- 02
Connect the shower
The unit is connected, the isolator fitted or checked, and the water side confirmed.
- 03
Test and certify

Electric shower installation price
Electric shower work is priced per installation. A like for like replacement on an existing circuit is the starting price.
- A new circuit from the fuse board, where the existing one is too small, is quoted before the work.
- The shower unit is priced separately unless you already have one.
What you get
A shower on a circuit that can carry it, with the paperwork.
- The right circuit
- No overheating cable and no tripping breaker when the shower runs.
- Certified bathroom work

Electric shower questions
What people ask about electric showers.
How much does it cost to fit an electric shower?+
From £220 for the electrical work on a like for like replacement. A new circuit is quoted separately.
— Trevor Bush
Can I replace my shower with a more powerful one?+
Only if the cable and breaker can support it. TMB Electrics checks this first because a 9.5kW shower often needs a larger cable than an older 7.5kW unit.
— Trevor Bush
Do I need an electrician to change an electric shower?+
Yes. It is bathroom electrical work, which has to be done by a competent person and certified.
