[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 444148, member: 6967"] The 2 showers should be on their own circuits, if they have been stuck in with the rings then it is anyones guess what sort of state the actual wiring to the showers themselves is like. Usually to split the lighting you would need some alterations making to the circuits if there are borrowed neutrals. Many people don't bother checking and just blindly put them on 2 circuits. If it hasn't been touched since the early 90's and it wasn't right even then I would guess (drawing from experience) that there will be a few minor issues to sort, along with rectifying the already bodged circuits. Might not need a full rewire but it wouldn't hurt to leave your options open as rectifying faults can sometimes be not worth the hassle when you factor in the cost of just rewiring, but then you have to also consider the redecoration costs too.
