Electric shower cable too short

Posted by Gavin Jackson, on
Swapping out an electric shower but the internal cable from the pull cord switch to the shower unit runs along the inside of the ceiling/roof over jousts then goes down through the wall and comes out of tiled area but is about 2/3 inches too short. Same wattage of shower and position is roughly the same. Is there any way to extend this ?

Hi Gavin Yes it is . Replace cable from switch to shower or get electritian to extend as normal block connectors are not water tight so can not b use in a wet areas. Regards Rafal
