I am replacing mine with a steel tank, at about €480 plus fitting.
I changed one recently and also changed a circulating pump and it came to over €600, the parts were only €240 total for a new insulated tank, a new heatmaster pump €51 and don't forget best to get a new immersion, I did not think this was good value.
Palerider, did you do the work yourself or get someone else to do it? Im not sure by reading your post.
You said you "did not think it was a good price", was that a typo? "did or did not"?
What sort of cylinder was it? Standard copper cylinder? The size of it- height by wide, in inches?
Why change circulating pump too? Btw if changing circulating pump, bottle of heating inhibitor recommended to be added into heating system too.
Might not be a good move replacing copper cylinder. There are grants available to upgrade oil or gas boilers which obviate the need for a copper cylinder. There are terms and conditions though.
"The parts were €240"......"it came to over €600 "
" I did NOT think it was a good price "
A Plumber did the work, it was a small insulated cylinder, no idea as to size., the pump I replaced had stopped working.

Can you tell us what the size of this steel tank/cylinder? 480 is dear for standard cylinder.
one of the new factory insulated ones - 48 litres
Solar water heating is excellent and well worth considering.
Hi Slim, did that replacement work out for you. I need to have tank replaced in my dad’s house ASAP. Thanks.I am replacing mine with a steel tank, at about €480 plus fitting.
Hi Dexter. No issues since but I would expect none as it's just 2 years since installed. Good luck with your tank.Hi Slim, did that replacement work out for you. I need to have tank replaced in my dad’s house ASAP. Thanks.
