Default How easy/difficult is it to replace an electric shower unit?

Easy if you replace like with like which of course you don't want to do
as it keeps failing. Big pain in bum if not a straight swap. Consider a
straight swap nevertheless but in future ALWAYS turn off the stopcock
when not in use. If yours is anything like mine (Gainsborough) the flow
valve diaphragm thingy is the weakest link and won't stand up to
continuous mains pressure. I took mine apart and although beautifully
engineered the diaphragm was bust and about as strong as a Durex
Featherlight.
