    Lads, does anyone know how I can do this without killing myself in the process?

    Over my water boiler I've got a panel with two switches on it. One for on/off and the other for shower/bath.

    How can I replace this with a timer and keep the switch for the bath?

    Thanks!

    The easiest way is to install a timer in line between the supply and the existing switch, this way you keep your on/off and sink/bath switch but the timer is switching it on and off. They're available in B&Q or similar for about E40ish. Make sure its an imersion timer you get and not a low current timer for lights or something like that.
    If you're not confident its a 20 min job for an electrician.
