I would check the electric isolating switch ( pull cord on ceiling ,or wall switch outside bathroom ). even though the neon light works on the shower .isolate the shower circuit at fuse board or consumer unit before opening switch .look for signs of overheating of cable insulation and loose cable at terminals. if all looks OK ,you then need an electrical multimeter to test that the switch is actually working. you said shower stopped working suddenly. I ASSUME , you used it then turned off the isolation switch ,and next time you went to use it ,put switch on and it didn't work. if so that certainly puts the switch on the top of the list to check out.

Hi Terry Plumb.

I am hoping by some miracle that you are still on this forum and see this...

I seem to be having the same issue as 'longtallsally' above so it sounds like I will need to look at the isolation switch for the shower.

Assuming there is a power issue at the isolation switch, how do you repair this as I assume there is no fuse or equivalent within the isolation switch?

Thank you so much!

Hi ,you don't repair the switch ,you replace it with a suitable new one.
And check the condition of the cables , particularly the insulation and copper conductors.

Thank you so much for coming back to me - I really appreciate it.

Oh I see, thank you. I assume this is a job for an electrician rather than a DIYer?

If your not comfortable working with electrics then an electrician would be required.

Brilliant - thank you so much for your help.

I really appreciate it!
