    I suggest you go to one of the shower repair / installation companies for this. This cuts out having a plumber doing electrics or an electrician doing plumbing. Most of these send out a plumber & an electrician for this job. If you Google shower repair or shower installations you'll find plenty. You'll pay around €600 to retro fit an electric shower. For this you should be getting someone with an insurance cert, reci cert & vat receipt.
    The best 2 pumped electric showers on the market are Triton T90Z or Mira Elite ST. Triton being the better of the 2 because the white plastic in all Mira showers goes yellow & is VERY brittle but not in Triton. Mira parts are up to twice as expensive as Triton even some are made in the same factory. Triton give a 2 years warranty on all of their showers, Mira give one years on some & two on others. (even Mira doesn't seem to have a lot of confidence in their products.

    Very good.
    Our house is over 3 floors and the main shower is on the top floor. It is a gravity fed thru immersion tank. The guest shower is on the floor below.

    Is there a restriction on having two electric showers in the one dwelling?
    Would there be a problem if both were running at the same time?

    .....and then there's the sink on the ground floor....

    No.

    You cannot have two instant hot water electric showers running at the same time on a standard domestic electric supply.
    You will need a priority switching relay fitted.
