Started a bathroom rip out and total re fit today, the electric shower that came out was an old Gainsborough unit which amazingly enough still worked.

Any if you old salts out there remember fitting one of these ?

no, but my own shower is 22year old gainsborough and only recently started to drip at valve seat.
built to last these and my garage is full of 2-3 year old triton, miras etc
 
Not fitted that model but plenty of those cristal veined tiles lol Turnpin

chicken or bird tiles, had this type in our bathroom when I was a kid.
 
Is it a 3 or 7KW one mate?? Yes, amazingly a 3KW shower was common. You needed to do a Rain Dance to get wet using them.
Great find & amazing how it was still working.

To be honest Dickie I didn't check, I ive upgraded to 10 mm cable and putting in a 9.5 kw Mira, bet it doesn't last half as long !
