Install an electric shower in bungalow - price range

[electricnovice]

Hello - member of the public here again, so please be nice this time :smartass:

I can appreciate people wont want to give out quotes on a public site, but if doable I'd appreciate a 'price range' if that's ok.

For an electrician installing an electric shower in my Mum's bungalow bathroom, so that when quotes come to her she knows they are at least in the right ball-park area. Job outline is -

Supply and install 10.5kw Triton electric shower.
10mm cable, 40amp MCB.
Plumbing-pipework, isolator and connectors.
Electrical installation certificate.
Sundries and labour.
(quote without the VAT)

Water to the shower to feed off from a cold water pipe which spurs off from an electrically heated water tank unit.

Thank you. Anyone's help is really appreciated.

thats the size screwfix sell it in XD definitely a diy'er

So if you buy anything from screwfix then you are a DIY'er? Bit of an odd statement?

Polos working for nowt then!

OP said supply and install the triton shower. And you could do this for 350?

Id be pricing a day out to this sort of job, with the place left clean and tidy

I agree, there is no way most shower installs will be done in that time, not the ones I get anyway, you can spend 2 hours ***ng about with the plumbing if you are unlucky. I think this thread is ridiculous and also a bit dangerous bearing in mind it is on view to the public. There is no way anyone can say how much it will cost without seeing the job so offering up prices out of thin air is crazy.

if they buy 25m of 6/10mm and they only need 15m then yes because everyone else would go to a wholesalers or somewhere that sells by the m

Ah I see what you mean, not sure who was buying 25M but yeah obviously someone who does not use much of it. Screwfix prices for cable is high though.

Where I buy 10mm it's like £55-60 for 15m so £75 for 25m I get, what do you guys pay for 15m? And so they to what you want?

Whats wrong with you people £550 steep ??? I would say about a grand provided customer supplies the shower.
You have to remember an honest sparks has to run a van as well as his car.
After all you won't see me fitting a roof rack to my Ferrari anytime soon.
And the wife would never expect me to use her Range Rover Vogue when she has the kids to pick up from school.
Honestly, what planet are you lot on :ihih:

I think a 50m drum is around £80 at the moment.

 

[shanky887614]

drums tend to come in 50,100 or 500m drums depending on cable or in cut lengths

No decent spark would buy 25 meters!

Good job I'm not decent then cos I'll buy 25 if that's what I need

 

[telectrix]

why buy 100m, use 20m, then have 80m in back of van for a month for any scumbag to nick?
