I've been renovating the G/Fs bathroom this week, upon going to turn off
the shower supply, I found that it was supplied from a really old fuse
box, as well as looking like it is a spur from the cooker supply.
There are no RCDs anywhere in system.
To make the shower a little safer, I would like to fit a RCD to it.
Would something like this be suitable:

I presume, to fit this, I would disconnect the supply to the pull
switch, fit the supply to the RCD, then the output to the pull switch?
Ta for any thoughts.

Is the cooker still in use?
Where does ths cooker cable come from ? A CU?
Is the cable in use up to the job iro the shower rating?
You are in dangerous territory. How old is the installation? What wattage is
the shower? what size is the cable?
Whilst it may not be very safe now, you may be opening a can of worms.....!
