I can only find a 50 amp MK one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-50a-1-way-pull-cord-switch-white/12094
There's a 45 amp British General one: https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-45a-1-way-pull-cord-switch-white/65167
Is that any good?
I use CPC for all the electrical stuff I buy rather than screwfix

Lowering my expectations has succeeded beyond my wildest dreams.
I'll definitely stick with a 45 amp switch, can't find a MK one though - are there any other makes to consider?
Crabtree is generally OK too

My electric showers have all been Triton 10.5kW models which have three switch on buttons for hot, tepid, and cold water, together with a temperature control knob and a separate stop button.
I understand that the unit may have a longer life if it isn't switched on/off everyday.
I need to open the pull-cord ceiling rose to check the name of the manufacturer. However, the other switches in the flat are all MK branded, so I expect the shower ceiling rose switch is also made by MK.
I was brought up to always switch things off so it went against the grain a bit, but it's the constant switching which causes the arcing and burning of contacts.
I shortened the string pull as well, because I was alone in the house one day having a shower when someone switched it off, almost giving me a heart attack.
I yanked the curtain to one side and the cat was hanging off the string by his claws, his hilarious new game.

Hmmmmm holidays, what are those??
That isolator is only there so that the electrical supply to the shower can be locally isolated should maintenance be required; you don't need to clonk it off every time you hang up the loofah and reach for the towel. In most cases, when you turn off the shower it isn't consuming any electrical current.
