Shower with no RCD or supplementary bonding

MrJack96

I have been round to a relatives flat and seen he has an old Wylex board with MCBs. His bathroom has no supplementary bonding from what I can see and no RCD protection for his electric shower. how potentially dangerous is this? I know the circuits are fairly short and can see main bonding in place Can only really think if the R2 values are low enough touch voltages should end up being kept low?

    That’s mad!! So in theory what are the hazards of an electrical shower wich is not accessible but no RCD protecte and no supplementry bonding? my guess is it only becomes dangerous if there’s a fault which we are exposed to and we touch another bit of earthed metal work ie a tap which is not as well earthed to keep the touch voltage down?
