If it ain't broke, keep
fixing it until it is!

Look up equipotential bonding in your course work, thats your clue.

Also look at the regs re RCDs and bonding in bathrooms. Depending on the installation, there may not be a need for concern!

Hello I'm on the same question. I get that if the pipe was to become live it creates two sections of the pipe close together being at two very different voltages.but how do you repair it I'm wondering if you have found out as I'm struggling

There is a nice comprehensive answer to this on the IET forum site.

I don't plan to try and improve on AJ's response.
