No power to shower...IRL

[borderfox100]

I had a sparks(&plumber) run power to a bathroom in a new build and install a shower. Its worked fine but 2 weeks later its not getting any power.


I've checked the fusebox and all none of the switches were tripped. Is there anything else I can check before calling a sparks back in?


(just in case its relevant, theres a master switch on this particular shower so that it gets the power supply should someone try and use the other shower in the house simultaneously).

Have you definately got only one CU? Or is it possible that your electrician installed a secondary CU and you're not aware of it?

In your position I would call the electrician who installed it, and ask him on the phone if there's anything else to check before you call him out.

Time for me to look a bit foolish. When he installed it, there was a pull switch which he said never had to be used. Probably because it 'never had to be used', it slipped my mind to check it - as it seems one of my house sharers pulled it.

That doesn't make you look in the least bit foolish, but it does make you look open, honest and humble - three attributes that are often sorely lacking on the forum.

Thanks for letting us know.
