So he was here 4 hours today,
I don't see why it's taking so long to find a screw in a cable in the bathroom wall.

There's no cables anywhere near the shower though, only power in the room is the shaving point and the spot lights, which all have been checked
you can see directly down the void where the pipes go from the loft to reach the shower (video on the first page). There's no cables anywhere near these.
The example I gave in #31, the damaged cable was a light switch on the landing, couple of meters from the bathroom.There's no cables anywhere near the shower though, only power in the room is the shaving point and the spot lights, which all have been checked

Not yet, electrician is round again this week, it's frustrating not being able to use the shower I paid for
Why can't you ask the electrician to spend a full day trying to repair it. Am struggling to understand your thought process here
do you have a PV supply at all? could be the sparks disconnected the shower supply pushed it in the wall and not taped the end. Then like a lazy house basher just disconnected the line conductor in the fuseboard. I had a similar incident the other day....
He has done, he has already been here a total of 9 hours trying to identify whats causing it. i am missing 4 plug sockets in the house now and one light. He is going round each one disabling it then rechecking the shower.
Whats a PV? Well the electric shower was fed by one cable, which has now been completely removed
Would be interesting to know what the final verdict was on this?
I thought I responded to this thread, obviously not haha
it turned out to be the entire wall had become charged, he couldn't find what was causing it but in the end just earthed the wall at various points and its 'fixed'
The electrician thinks it could have always been a problem, but because there was only plastic fixed to the wall prior to moving to a proper shower it wasn't noticed
ive been in the loft to have a look and can't see any extra earthing wires so not sure how he has accomplished this, regardless, 1month in and no shocks so I'm happy
Hum.... how do you earth a wall? Sounds like BS to me.
