Electric showers are high-power appliances that require a dedicated radial circuit, correctly sized for the shower's kilowatt rating. A 10.5kW shower requires a 10mm² cable and a 45A MCB; an 8.5kW shower requires a 6mm² cable and a 40A MCB. Installing a shower on an undersized circuit is dangerous and a common source of electrical faults. DP Power Solutions installs shower circuits to bathrooms, en-suites, and wet rooms, ensuring correct cable sizing, a double-pole pull-cord switch or remote isolator, and compliance with BS 7671 Part 7 requirements for special locations (bathrooms).
All shower circuits work in Sutton Coldfield is carried out by qualified electricians, tested and certificated to BS 7671, and registered under Part P of the Building Regulations. We provide a free, written quotation before any work begins.

Shower Circuits FAQs
Can my existing shower circuit be reused for a more powerful shower?
Not necessarily. If you're upgrading from an 8.5kW to a 10.5kW shower, the existing 6mm² cable is undersized and must be replaced with 10mm².
What zones apply to bathroom electrics?
BS 7671 divides bathrooms into zones. Zone 0 is inside the bath or shower tray; Zone 1 is directly above. Only IP-rated equipment may be installed in Zones 0 and 1. We ensure all fittings are correctly specified.
How long does a shower circuit take to install?
Typically half a day to a full day, depending on the cable run and whether any chasing is required.
