Like-for-like is typically £275–£460 fitted in Lynton & Lynmouth, including the shower. Going to a more powerful unit (9.5 kW or 10.5 kW) often needs a thicker cable from the fuse box, which brings it towards £710.

Why does my electric shower keep cutting out?
Often it's the thermal cut-out because the shower's furred up with limescale, or the cable is too thin for the unit. A burning smell or browned isolator switch means stop using it and get it checked.
Does North Devon Council need to know about my electric showers?
Usually, yes. This is notifiable work under Part P, so it has to be registered with building control. A registered electrician does it for you at no extra cost, and you get the certificate within 30 days. Without it, you can hit problems when you sell your Lynton & Lynmouth home.

Is parking a problem for electricians in Lynton & Lynmouth?
It can be. Steep, narrow streets in Lynton & Lynmouth mean vans often park a walk away, and big jobs need kit carried up. Tell the electrician about steps and parking when you book. It rarely changes the £460 price, but it helps them plan the day.

Can I fit a bigger shower on the same cable?
Only if the cable and breaker are rated for it. Many older showers in Devon run on 6 mm cable, fine for 8.5 kW, not always for 10.5 kW. An electrician can measure it in a few minutes.
Does living by the sea in Lynton & Lynmouth affect electrical work?
It can. Salt air corrodes outdoor sockets, lights and meter boxes faster, so ask for IP65 or better outside. Older properties and holiday lets here also tend to have damp in outbuildings, which an electrician will check during the job.

National Grid (South West) runs the network here. If the whole street is dark, call 105, it's free and they'll give you a time. If it's only your house, check your trip switches first, then call an electrician.
