Fix or replace a shower: the basics
What the job involves
Showers fail in several ways: a mixer that runs cold (often a scaled or worn cartridge), a pump that has stopped, an electric shower that trips the electrics or heats only intermittently, or a tray or screen that leaks. A plumber handles mixers, pumps and leaks; an electric shower that is faulty or being replaced with a different power rating also needs an electrician.
What to ask a pro, and what to have ready
Tell them which type of shower you have (mixer, power shower, electric) and exactly what it does and doesn't do. Ask whether a repair is realistic or a replacement is better value, and whether the quote includes any new cable, isolator switch or pull cord for an electric shower.
Safety and good to know
Electric showers are high-power appliances; their wiring and the circuit protecting them must match the shower's rating. Electrical work in homes should be done by a competent registered electrician (for example NICEIC or NAPIT registered): ask for proof of registration and for the certificate that goes with the work.

Why does my shower keep going cold?
On a mixer shower it is usually a worn thermostatic cartridge or limescale. On an electric shower it can be the heater element or a flow problem. On a combi boiler system, the boiler itself may be the cause, especially if other hot taps are affected too.
