Cost of new Pump

[Mark Wright]

Hi, My Aunty has been quoted for a new pump and my cousin was there as-well and said what a nice guy he was etc
but they told me he said it might be unto £800 he was going to get a better make etc. But I just got him to post me a picture of the old pump


Now I know I always get good advice here- Now I'm looking I can't see the exact model but nothing is over £400 - He said he was going to get a better make etc and it would cost more etc.

Hi, Bob - Yeah it's a hard one - He said he's gonna get a better make or something. But shes a little old lady - Sounds Like a Bit of a scumbag to me.

The one she has seems like good quality.I would stick with the same one and it would fit perfectly.
How long did the old one last for?

I don't know how long it lasted. I am suspicious. Where she lives all the plumbers eyes seem to light up when they see a little old lady.

But he's saying £800 for the pump alone. Is there even a suitable pump that would cost that much? - my searches are maxing out about £500

Ok I didn't see these posts. I can't fit it, it's not my house. But can anyone tell me is there even a pump that costs £800 etc that's suitable. My cousin hasn't replied and my Aunty doesn't want to make a fuss but I'm not happy.

I think you have answered your own question.No. There aren't any pumps that cost £800.I suggest you tell your relative to find someone else to fit the same model for around the price I said above.

Some Grundfos shower pumps with brass pump bodies have a list price of this kind of figure and more, but can be bought for less.
Not clear why you can't fit it. Is it a rented property?
