I noticed a `fishy`smell when shower was being used. I checked the isolator switch outside the bathroom and it was hot so have now switched off at the main electric box. I have opened up the switch and there is obvious signs of heat damage and one of the cables was loose I think it is the neutral. The bakelite plastic stuff inside the switch looks like it has suffered heat damage. I think its fair to say the switch needs replacing but what about the cable as there doesnt appear to be any slack. I am ok for replacing the switch myself but beyond that I would call in an electrician. Would winding insulation tape on the damaged cable be suffice or would the cable need replacing?
