Unlocks more powerful showers with noticeably stronger water flow and faster heating.

Want a More Powerful Shower in Your St Helens Home?
If your current shower feels weak or you want stronger water flow, here are your two options.
Max Out Your Current Cable
If you have a 7.5kW shower on a 6mm cable, upgrading to an 8.5kW model gives more power with no additional electrical work needed at all.
Upgrade Cable and Shower
Want a 9.5kW or 10.5kW shower for much stronger flow? We install a new 10mm cable from your consumer unit. Unlocks the most powerful models available.
My Shower Feels Weak
If your current shower feels weak or slow to heat, upgrading to a higher kW model with a cable upgrade if needed will give noticeably better performance. It is one of the most common reasons St Helens customers call us.

Electric Shower Not Working in St Helens?
Try these checks before calling us. We can often save you a call-out.
Check your consumer unit first. The shower circuit may have tripped. Also check the pull cord isolator switch inside the bathroom is in the on position.
The heating element has almost certainly failed. This is the most common shower fault and it usually means a replacement is more cost-effective than repair.
Could be limescale in the showerhead. Try soaking it in white vinegar overnight. If it was always weak, a higher kW model or cable upgrade may be the answer.
Turn off the isolator switch immediately. Water near live electrical components is extremely dangerous. Do not touch or inspect the unit until power is confirmed off.
Still not fixed? We can often attend same-day across St Helens to diagnose, repair or replace your shower.

Real electric shower reviews from St Helens homeowners
Shower broke at our Eccleston home on a Saturday afternoon. Called Ideal Electrical and an engineer arrived by 4pm with a new Triton unit. Fitted, tested and working within two hours. Brilliant same-day service.
Wanted a more powerful shower at our Newton-le-Willows home. The engineer explained the cable upgrade needed, did everything in one visit and the difference in pressure is massive. Very professional and competitive price.
New electric shower installed in our Haydock home as part of a bathroom renovation. Professional job from start to finish, tidied up completely after themselves and the Part P certificate arrived the same day. Very happy.
