The water is coming from the PRD on the outlet pipe - it is fixable?

water coming out of the body of Gainsborough 8.5e electric shower

Are you in a hard water area.
It could be that the heater tank has furred up.
Water coming out the back means that the pressure relief device has operated. The shower should be repairable depending on the age when compared to cost of a new unit

Yes. Open up the shower box (turn off the electric first!!) You can take out the PRD and put it back in. Might only work temporarily. But ideally get a new PRD from Gainsborough. Ensure that the shower head is clean of debris but taking the shower head off, cleaning it and letting the shower run cold water to get out any rubbish. Put the head back on and see if it work.
