immersion heaters?

Hi all,
We have an immersion heater which is hooked up with 2 switches because of economy 7 electricity. Recently we have not been getting hot water from about 3pm (the switch for the top up element is on with a red light). we called in a plumber who took a look at it and tried to blame it on the economy 7 side of things and that he could not do anything because he was not an electrician, he did not seem to really check out the heater much.
Does this sound like a plumbing issue or an electric one?

Hi
Both in a way.
Either a plumber who can check the electrical side or a sparks who is willing to remove a dead immersion.
The next plumber you find ask if he/she can test the immersion. Try CIPHE ?
If you need a new one then make sure it's a long life one ie: Incaloy or titanium.
It'll last longer.
