Immersion tripping after new bathroom

[Sarah76]

Hi. We have an immersion heater tank on economy 7. We have had no issues with this since moving in 3 years ago. We have just had our bathroom renovated including an electric towel heater wired in. From the very next day our night time immersion switch keeps tripping. Our decorator tells us there is no connection but it seems a large coincidence. He has tried to get the immersion out to replace it but was unable to so says the tank needs replacing. Can you please let me know your thoughts and if there a likely connection. Thanks

The chap who did the bathroom, who has been with an electrical tester since and looked at the immersion. 1 other question too, if the day switch is not tripping, if we turned that on for 2 hours per day, how would the costs compare roughly to having the night switch on all night?

I'm confused, is the OP saying that the immersion and towel rail both work when the night switch is off but MCB trips when night switch is on? So does she then have 2 separate circuits for the immersion, one for day and one for night but the day setting is working OK, and there's only one MCB for the immersion?

Think that's a different kind of 'strictly'... hope she's good with the whip to keep you in check

She will need more than a whip to keep Tel line SC

Fair enough, but adding 1 amp or less to a cable with plenty of spare capacity is fine by me, has to be a reasonable and cost effective option ?

@Adrian Doherty , can you kindly enlighten me on where my spelling is bad within the above post ?
