Hi

This past week my electric shower is either scalding hot or freezing cold, it doesn't change temperature by itself and will stick to either scalding or freezing unless you turn the temperature dial in an attempt to alter it.

Got a new bathroom suite fitted last week and although the plumber didn't touch the shower I have noticed that the taps don't flow as quickly when the toilet is flushing and the shower cuts off if the toilet flushes or taps are running. Now I know this is probably a water pressure problem but I'm unsure whether the temperature problem is due to that too. (none of the taps or toilet, washing machine etc are on when shower is)

Any ideas anyone and any ideas how to rectify this? Has the plumber made an error and so should I phone him back out?

Hope I've explained this clearly enough and hope someone can help can't afford a new shower and a week of frezing showers is quite enough(decided freezing was preferable to scalding my skin off)

Sounds as though some rubbish has found itself to your shower inlet and blocking the waterflow.suggest either take off the shower head and let cold waterflow and see if that flushes it through,check shower head itself see if its clean,or take off the inlet connection and let it flow there.best of luck.

we had this problem recently it was due to low water pressure in the area when the water board did some work locally. once we'd reported it they fixed it and it's fine. get your plumber to turn up your water pressure
