Electric shower installation in Colchester

Lighting Electrical installs electric showers for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Colchester and nearby Essex. We connect the unit to a suitable circuit, test the work and leave the electrical paperwork when the job is finished.

Ten years on Colchester housing stock and I have seen most of it: terraces where the lighting circuit has been extended once too often, boards fitted before RCDs were standard, new builds with sockets nowhere near the kitchen. I check the earthing, the bonding and whether the supply will carry another load before I price anything, because the age of a house settles nothing on its own.

Electric shower installation prices

Electric shower installation with Lighting Electrical starts from £220 for homes and rentals in Colchester and nearby Essex. The starting price is for fitting and connecting the unit and moves with shower rating, cable length and a free slot on the fuse board.

  • A higher kW electric shower needs a heavier cable and a circuit rated for that load.
  • A fuse board with no spare way, meaning no free slot, needs extra work beyond the shower fitting itself.
  • Water pipes, trays, enclosures and tiling sit outside the electrical installation price.

Do you plumb in the electric shower as well?+

Lighting Electrical fits and wires the electric shower. Water pipes, the tray, the enclosure and tiling are not part of the electrical installation. The £220 starting price is for the electrical work.

Will the electricity be off while you fit the shower?+

Lighting Electrical isolates the shower circuit while the unit is connected. Power on that circuit comes back after testing. Handover is once the shower circuit is live and the paperwork is with you.
