water coming from shower, after new boiler fitted

had a new combi boiler fitted, and old feeder / stage tank removed.. so all taps etc have direct feed from here.
since then, the old shower has water dribbling out even though it is switched off and unplugged - suspect bearings etc inside may be worn out, but this never happened with old setup.
any idea how do block the water supply to shower unit? there are avarious pipes into bathroom, though no idea which one leads there, rather than he bath / sinketc..
at moment, have to turn off water at main stopcock to make the very irritating (and wasteful!) dripping!

Just to clarify. Is it an electric shower? as you said it's unplugged.Happiness, is a Kebab called Doner.....:heart2::heart2:0 -
sorry, yes- plumbed in & fixed to bathroom wall- ages old, not used for some time (bath used, before any1 thinks i am stinky!)
two pipes lead into shower unit, with hardwired power cable.Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
