Default shower removal

...
I am trying to remove an electric shower form the bathroom, its a electric
one and was plumbed in via a copper pipe which is connected to the cold
water tap feed under the bath. It has a stop valved about half way up on
the piping.

It was all professionally done.

Just after some advice on how to remove it without flooding the place

Thanks


I've never had that problem but how about if you turn off the supply to the
tap, then open the tap and allow the water in the shower to drain back into
the bath. That should work unless there is some sort of non return valve
in the shower, or it has an electronic water control valve, in either of
which cases you would not need to drain it anyway and would only have to
deal with the water between your stop valve and the non return/electronic
one. Just keep the shower upright and the shower head above it while you
remove it so the water inside does not run out.
