Electric shower not hot enough

[flosswoss]

Hi and help!
Not sure if this is electrical or plumbing! We had a new bathroom fitted 3 months ago by the most useless fitter in Christendom. The shower has been OK up to now but now doesn't get hot, only tepid. The low pressure light is on (thinking about it, it's been on for a while, possibly since it was fitted ). I won't be getting the cowboy back and can't fix it myself but does anyone have any ideas?

Is the water supply to it mains-fed?

Erm, not sure - can they be mains fed or use a pump. I don't recall a pump being mentioned so I guess it's mains fed. I'm beginning to think it might be a plumbing issue rather than electrics. Sorry about not replying straight away but my son thought msn was more important than my shower!

Possibly the fitter did not clean out the pipes & the inlet filter is gunged up restricting the water flow. If you check the make/model no. on the "shower doctor" site you will probably get a diagram showing where the filter is, if you do not have the instructions.

Thanx, will do that. Fitter didn't make an effort with anything so wouldn't surprise me. Didn't even get a certificate for the electrics so am getting another in to check the wiring - probably another horror story!

Nothing from Building Control?

1) Report them to TSO.

2) Report them to the council, in writing, cc'ing the Borough Solicitor, and tell them that if they don't do something you will go to the local press and radio, and your councillor, and your MP, and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government to invite them to start asking the council why they are allowing people to get away with breaking the law.

3) Go to the police and make a statement - you have evidence that a criminal offence has been committed.
