An Electrician, you will possibly need a plumber if it turns out to be a faulty element, but there are 4 or 5 electrical faults to check for first.

call a plumber. if the plumber is any good he can take care of the electrical and element if it needs to be replaced. Now I am talking about the electrical inside the heater, not the wiring or breaker going to the heater. You can always tell them when you place the service call that you think it is the electrical inside the heater and is that a problem for their service technicians. I have replaced the electrical and rewired countless water heaters.

The socket-getting-hot problem sound like "pin fizz" (Plugs are not designed to take large-(ish) /13A currents to the immersion for relatively long periods. The pins of the plug vibrate, resulting in a relatively poor electrical connection and over-heat). Get in an electrician to ascertain what is wired to which circuit & how. It's fairly unusual to have both an immersion and an electric shower, so the shower may just be pumped.

With you asking the question I'm sure you don't have water gushing everywhere so its an electrician.
Get a knowledgeable friend to look at it first, because if its just the element you could save a lot a cash...
