Went to look at wiring up a new shower last night but the customers old shower had the connections at the bottom and the new one has them near the top.

Consequently, the previous DIYer or (ahem) Tradesman, has cut them tighter than a Gnat's Chuff.

Is it O.K to just join out in the shower unit as I would assume it is IP rated or do I need to remove tiles & chase out to join under the floor??

Cheers Guys

Use a mechanical connection i.e. a crimp, to extend the cables within... I would normally use some heatshrink as well just to make the job look tidy
