Mira, Triton, Aqualisa electric shower repairs

[hoveelectrician]

I strive to offer repairs to electric showers in the Brighton and Hove area but find that it is better economics to replace.

Is this a general view?

59.00 for spanking new and safety

Its certainly seen as a throw away appliance much the same as a freezer etc nowadays

If the repair can save the customer a lot of money then its worthwhile,however to do that puts a low ceiling on your profit for those repairs compared to a straight swap
So my view would be yes its better to renew them than change them

Yes it is, an 'engine' for a shower can cost £80.00 while a new complete shower with brand spanking attachments can be had for less than £100!

We check connections etc. on all shower jobs but after that, we replace.

I just check the connections etc and the thermal cutout is belling out. If they are all fine I tell them it needs replaced. The ones with circuit boards in them are a definite repacment job.

Can't answer yours but request info. on best shower to install in old cottage with oil-fired system ie. NOT a combi so requires me to heat a large immersion heater just to get a shower unless I get an electric one installed. Are Triton the best? How much can I expect to pay including plumbing through wall to kitchen next door roughly, as I do understand job would first need to be seen by installer. Unfortunately I'm in Suffolk, so too far away for many on this forum! Perhaps there is somebody nearer? I live in Stowmarket area not far from Wattisham air base if that helps. About 20 miles from Ipswich, 15 from Bury St. Edmunds. Thanks

It is a little early but there are quite a few lads on here from your area and I'm sure that they will PM you for more details.

Yes your right it would be very difficult to advise on a cost of a shower install without seeing the installation

Well this has certainly sparked a little debate, however I'm pretty sure this is just a ploy to get his website advertised!

In the spirit of things, though, yep, I reckon you'd have to be mental to try and repair, you can get a replacement for sixty bucks and then you've got all that lovelyu old copper in the old model to scrap!

Just doing an aqualisa one for a friend and the thermostatic cassette is £109 alone!

Same here, I have never repaired a shower - nearly always it is a water leak, or the water won't turn off fully, the parts are £50ish, whereas you can get a brand new 8.5kw for £60-70.
I always tell the customer that if one part has worn out, there are bound to be other things going too, so it is not worth repairing.

We have very hard water in our area so shower only last 3 - 5 years before they start to go, cheaper ones even less. It just wouldn't be worth it to replace parts.

Just for reference (you probably already already know) aqualisa showers are triton showers with a rubbisher badge on them! All the ones I've used, anyway.
