How long to wait before chasing landlord for repairs

Hi everyone
My electric shower broke on Monday. I text my landlord and he arranged for an electrician to come and take a look at it on Wednesday, the electrician said that it was a job for a plumber and that he would tell my landlord this and for my landlord to get in touch with me. I haven't heard anything since the plumber left on Wednesday and I'm unsure whether I should text my landlord again to see what is going on? I don't want to seem a pest as it has only been 2 days but I normally shower every morning so it is a bit of a pain in the bum! First time living on my own and not sure of appropriate time scales etcthank you!

Might be worth calling the LL on Monday afternoon if they've not replied sooner, just to make sure that they know and they're planning on booking a plumber.

I would have texted Thursday. It's also worth if someone comes round to re-iterate what the original person has said.
So on Wednesday text to say" We've just had the electrician round and he's going to call you to arrange an electrician".
Sometimes, tradespeople do forget to call.
We had an incident where one of our tenants was without hot water for 3 days as the boilerman hadn't told us that he didn't fix it.
