When electric showers go wrong it's usually best to replace them. Most of the newer Gainsborough showers have a phased shut down to prevent scalding. In your case I'd put money on its thermostat. I'm not familiar with the Gainsborough 9.5E... I'm just presuming it's electric. Have a look at the Gainsborough 8.5BC... I'm not selling it - I work for Roper Rhodes. But it's a worthy replacement.
