Broken gainsborough regent iii shower, Need replacement

My shower has started to trip the RCD, so is looking like it is on the way out.

Does anyone know if I can get a form fit and function replacement for it as it is built into a cubicle?

I guess another Gainsborough shower would be the most likely candidate, if so does anyone know which one?

    There is a regent II on eBay at the moment. Ask Gainsborough what will fit.

  • I would suggest anything except a gainsborough.

    I find the newer ones (made in last 3-4 years) aren't up to the mark. The quality has went downhill.

    ps this is my personal opinion. I have wired (not fitted but wired) 6 gainsborough showers in the last 4 years, and 5 of the 6 showers were faulty.
    baldly going on...

    Thanks for that (:eek: ), I'm installing one in the next day or two. Should I blame the electrician if the customer's not happy with it? :rotfl:
