Excellent video! I was quoted £300 for supply & fit to replace my broken down shower. Watched this and went to screw fix and got a new one for £49 job done.

VERY IMPORTANT, always make sure you know where the water pipe and electric cable are running before drilling the screw holes.

I want to say thank you. I watched this video a few times and actually did it myself. The plumber wanted £120 just to swap over a shower unit. I did it myself feel really accomplished.

Thanks this helped a lot when I replaced my old shower with my new one. The water inlet was a bit of a nightmare to get the nut loose but a bit of vinegar and WD40 eventually loosened the bugger! Saved me a lot of money getting someone else to fit this for me!

Thank you so much for this video.
Never installed an electric shower before.
Now fully operational and working a treat.
It's amazing what you can learn from YouTube ❤

I'm so relieved to see someone with charisma making videos like this, so thank you! I'm not sure I could have managed another dull monotonous DIY video in preparation for doing some work in our house!

Just needed to double check everything over with this video. Looks like it's installed now. Thanks for the guide.

Why am I watching this in work? I'm not even looking to fit a new shower.

Mate you are my hero, have just fit my first change over new shower with your help, I was scared but did the job perfect, I did watch your video about 5 times lol...have subscribed and liked, top man!! 👍👍👍

00:04:35 is where there is an edit at the hardest part. swiveling the elbow and removing the nut and olive when they are completely seized up.

Also worth noting if you get a more powerful shower you may need to uprate the cable. That one however looks like with 6mm or 10mm. Top video man!

Your videos have been a superb help this month whilst my dad helps me refit my whole bathroom. You are awesome (and hilarious!) :D

[JULESBUMSTEAD]

thank you thank you for your tutorial. i have just successfully replaced my old electric shower. yayyyy

[kennethmunnoch]

Run the shower on cold for 30second after installing or you can blow the thermal cut out.

Hi mate, is your meter set to volts ac above 240v scale when you check isolation ( just to confirm thanks)

[barrymason]

Brilliant vid! You are a funny guy, you made learning fun 😂 cheers

Morning James. Love your videos. I've just fitted a new square MK shower pull switch. All is working ok. The red light shows brightly when on. But the red light still glows rather dim when I turn it off. Is that normal? I have turned it off at the consumer board. Please help mate.
Dave.

what happens to the water that fall on top of the shower unit. Do you need to put silicone around the casing of the shower that meets the wall?
