I have an electric shower which is new and a new worcester boiler, but the shower fluctuates between boiling hot and freezing cold - no middle ground. No other appliances in the house are in use or the toilet being flushed etc. the pressure seems fine. Has anyone got any advice? I can't cope anymore! SOmeone i know mentioned it could be a leaking pipe? thanks!

Not much we can say without knowing which shower you have.
 
You say you have an electric shower. Do you mean one that takes in cold water from the mains and heats it with an electric element, like a kettle? In which case the boiler is irrelevant.

Or do you mean it has an electric pump, and uses hot water from the boiler or cylinder, amd cold water, and mixes them? In which case, does the cold water come from a tank or from the mains, and does the does the hot come from a cylinder or straight from the boiler?

Is it a thermostatic shower, and has it done this from new (in which case the hot and cold pipes might have beemn connected the wrong way round).

Did you fit it yourself or can you complain to the installer?
