We've been repairing showers across Chelmsford and Essex for years. Our experience means we've seen β and fixed β practically every shower fault imaginable.
Anglian PHE's qualified engineers diagnose and repair electric showers throughout Chelmsford and Essex. We handle faults including no hot water, tripping RCDs, failed heating elements, faulty thermostats and power supply issues. In many cases we can attend the same day you call β and we'll always give you an honest assessment before any work starts.
Yes. We offer emergency shower repair callouts across Chelmsford and Essex, with same-day attendance available in most cases. Whether your shower has completely stopped working, you have a burst pipe causing a leak, or a badly blocked drain causing flooding, call us on 01245 000 000 and we'll get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
Absolutely. Our blocked shower plumbers clear shower drain blockages across Essex using professional drain rods and high-pressure jetting where required. We also resolve the underlying cause β whether it's hair and soap build-up, a collapsed waste pipe section, or a poorly graded drain. A slow-draining shower is an early warning sign; don't ignore it.
This is one of the most common electric shower faults we repair in Chelmsford. The most frequent causes are a failed heating element, a faulty thermostat that's cut out, a tripped safety cut-out triggered by limescale build-up, or a problem with the electrical supply. Our engineers carry the most common heating elements in their vans, so we can often repair on the first visit.
Shower repair costs depend on the nature of the fault and parts required. A diagnostic visit starts from Β£60βΒ£80. Simple repairs such as clearing a blocked drain or fixing a pressure issue are often resolved for under Β£150. More involved repairs β replacing a heating element or thermostatic cartridge β typically range from Β£120βΒ£250 including parts. We always provide a fixed-price quote before starting any work.
Yes β shower pump repair is one of our specialist services. If you're experiencing low pressure, a noisy pump, inconsistent flow, or a pump that won't start, our engineers will diagnose whether it's a fault within the pump, an airlock, or a wider plumbing pressure issue. We carry out shower pump repairs and replacements across Chelmsford and Essex.
Yes. Low shower pressure is often a plumbing issue rather than a fault with the shower itself. The cause could be a partially closed isolation valve, a failing shower pump, furring of the shower head from limescale, or a mains pressure problem. Our specialists identify the exact cause and carry out the appropriate repair.
The most common cause is a build-up of hair, soap scum and grease in the drain trap or waste pipe β this accumulates gradually and causes increasingly slow drainage. Other causes include a collapsed or sagging waste pipe, an inadequate fall in the drain pipework, or a blockage further down the system. If your shower is draining slowly, get it looked at before it stops draining altogether.
Yes β same-day shower repairs are available across much of Chelmsford and Essex, subject to engineer availability. For genuine emergencies such as a burst shower pipe or complete shower failure, we aim to attend within a few hours of your call. For non-urgent repairs, we can often schedule you within 24β48 hours. Call us on 01245 000 000 to check current availability.
In many cases, yes. Electric showers with minor faults β a failed heating element, faulty solenoid valve, or limescale-triggered temperature cut-outs β can be repaired for a fraction of replacement cost. As a general guide, if the shower is less than 8β10 years old and the repair cost is well below 50% of replacement, repair is usually the better choice. Our engineers give you an honest assessment, not a biased recommendation.
