Electric Shower Removal

The electric shower is an eye sore in my opinion lol. I was wondering if i can remove the box completely from the wall and just connect a new shower to my bath taps without using the electric at all.

"Hi there, you would need to have the electric shower removed. And then a new shower installed that is connected to your central heating.

"you can remove the electric shower if you want but would recommend that an electrician remove the cable going to your Consumer Unit. then you could remove the cold feed water supply to the shower and run a Hot & Cold feed from the Bath taps to your shower.make sure yo had enough pressure on the hot side"

"No problem . Ask aan Electrician to make safe through disconnection at supply to shower and feed at main board etc. A qualified Elec will do no problem..Depending what you want to come out of shower ,pressure etc engage with a plumber.Do it cheap ,you get cheap and danger."

"This should be fine, you may want to consult a plumber first to test your water pressure before you start however. You could add a pump to improve the water pressure utilizing the old shower supply as well.
Hope this helps."
