Like for like shower, part p

[lucas121]

I've got a job replacing an instantaneous shower for exactly the same make and model. As it was like for like I assumed I could wire it up.

Iv just been informed that because it's in a bathroom, a zoned area, like for like does not count and a part p needs to install.

This does make sense so I'm guessing I assumed wrong and have been informed correctly.

Can you guys confirm?

Like for like is as far as I am aware not notifiable anywhere under Part P.

Yep as I thought, just had to check cos it has been a while now.
Page 7 Building Regs AD Part P 2013
Non-notifiable work
2.7 Regulation 12(6A) sets out electrical installation work that is notifiable. All other electrical installation work is not notifiable – namely additions and alterations to existing installations outside special locations, and replacements, repairs and maintenance anywhere.
