We're going to be moving out of our flat in about 6 weeks time and typically the electric shower has died this week. We'll be letting the flat so we need to get it sorted. In a nutshell, it's a period property that was split in to flats many years ago and a number of corners were cut! The electric shower hasn't been fixed to the tiles, the tiles have been fixed around it which is apparently a no no. We've had a plumber in today to look at it. He's told us to find an electric shower approximately the same size as the current one and to buy one which is okay to be tiled around it. H has been to B&Q and Wickes but they all appear to need to be fixed on top of the tiles. H has bought one but I dread to think what the consequences will be if the plumber needs to tile underneath it first....................I assume that the water pipe and the electrics won't be long enough to reach.
I have a feeling what appears to be a fairly straightforward job is going to escalate! Can anyone advise? TIA ?
