Hi

Any water leak in side an electric shower should be regarded as dangerous.

The replacement of the solenoid is fairly straight forward.

Turn of the water and power you then have to dismantle most of the inside of the shower to get enough space to slip the old part out and the new part in.

This sounds more difficult than it actually is, however you do have to be methodical noting where screws/nuts etc. come from and what goes where and it is always a good idea to take photos as you go because you can refer to them when you are rebuilding.

Before you replace the solenoid have a careful check of the stabilizer valve just above the solenoid this can often leak and drip down on to the solenoid making it look like it is the solenoid that is leaking.
