Electrician time, or is there anything that can be done oneself?
BTW, typically, it's just gone out of guarantee.

If it has just gone out of guarantee, you still have a claim against
the manufacturer on the basis that the equipment has not lasted it's
expected life and therefore is not fit for purpose. I would have
thought that such a heater has a ten year life and correspondingly you
should be able to reclaim 90% of it's value - or alternatively get a
replacement for 10% of its price.

If you're willing to take them to the small claims court
