When an electric shower stops working, homeowners feel the impact immediately. No hot water, fluctuating temperatures, or unexpected shut-offs can disrupt any family’s routine. At CountBricks, we combine hands-on construction expertise with AI-driven estimating tools to resolve electric shower issues quickly and accurately—while providing transparent costs for every material and task.
Most electric shower breakdowns stem from a handful of common culprits:
• Heating element burnout caused by limescale buildup
• Faulty thermostatic control or pressure switch
• Wiring degradation or tripped safety cut-outs
• Inadequate water pressure from aging supply lines
Identifying which failure applies to your project is crucial. CountBricks’ AI voice capture lets field teams describe symptoms in real time while our software auto-builds a repair scope and pricing schedule.
1. Voice Capture: On-site techs describe the issue—“unit buzzing, cold water only”—and CountBricks instantly converts speech to a detailed repair checklist.
2. Instant Costing: Real-time material data feeds your estimate. From replacement heating cartridges to new isolation valves, every line item is priced to today’s market.
3. Blueprint Takeoff (optional): If the repair sits within a larger bathroom remodel, upload PDFs to CountBricks.com/takeoffs and let our AI map electrical runs and plumbing positions for seamless coordination.
4. Client-Ready Quote: In seconds, you receive a branded PDF with tasks, materials, labor hours, and totals—ready to e-mail or e-sign.
• Confirm electrical isolation at the consumer unit before disassembly
• Measure incoming voltage; ensure supply matches manufacturer specification
• Inspect and descale inlet filter—often overlooked yet critical
• Test solenoid valve continuity; replace if resistance falls outside tolerance
• Swap heating element if continuity is open or resistance exceeds rating
• Reassemble with new seals and gaskets to prevent future leaks
The right replacement parts cut callbacks dramatically. CountBricks’ live catalog suggests manufacturer-approved elements, O-rings, and thermostats that fit your model, preventing guesswork and delays.
A typical element replacement in a residential setting takes 1.5–2 labor hours. Parts average $80–$120 depending on brand. CountBricks auto-populates these figures but allows you to adjust labor rates to match your crew’s overhead.
Electric showers merge high-load wiring with water lines, demanding strict compliance with local codes. CountBricks highlights:
• Required RCD protection and breaker sizing
• Minimum cable cross-section per run length
• Proper bonding of copper pipework to earth terminals
Our platform flags any non-compliant details during estimate creation, saving you costly inspection failures.
If the shower is over ten years old, parts may be scarce or the unit may fail energy-efficiency standards. CountBricks can pivot an estimate to a full replacement in one click—updating materials, labor, and warranty language automatically.
• AI-accurate pricing eliminates profit-eating oversights
• Hands-free voice entry keeps techs focused on diagnostics, not paperwork
• Integrated invoicing shortens cash-flow cycles
• Cloud storage maintains a history of every shower serviced, supporting warranty claims
• Transparent quotes detail every task—no hidden fees
• Faster turnarounds reduce shower downtime
• Verified parts selection ensures long-term performance
• Digital reports provide proof of code compliance

3. Instant Parts Match: CountBricks suggested an in-stock 9.5-kW heating element and new inlet seal kit, adding them to the work order automatically.
4. Repair: Component swap, full descale, and filter clean completed in 65 minutes.
5. Compliance Check: The AI checklist prompted an RCD test; pass recorded in the digital certificate.
6. Close-Out: A branded invoice, warranty info, and maintenance tips were e-mailed on site.
