Re: Rough cost for installing electric shower
Depends on how you do it.
The right way,
taking a direct cold feed from shower, running it through hotpress and tapping into storage tank, Taking direct hot feed from shower connecting to cylinder with essex / surrey flange, (follow manufacturer instructions), both lines fitted with shut off valve, Or
the wrong way,
Tap the hot and cold in to nearest pipes.
The right way ensures a constant flow to shower and shower is unaffected by pressure loss in the main plumbing lines (somene turns a tap on).
The wrong way is faster/ cheaper and wrong.
Should take an experiance plumber under 3 hours to complete and you will also need a sparks to wire the shower to a fused spur or pull chord switch. Prices are regional.

Re: Rough cost for installing electric shower
materials , flange approx €30, pipe, tank connecter, two shut off valves, other fittings about €30.
Labour charge approx €140 - €180 plus materials plus 13.5% VAT
Can only guess at sparks cost, maybe €80 - €100 plus switch etc plus VAT

Re: Rough cost for installing electric shower
Because the shower only use's power to run the built in pump and lots of these models use low voltage via a transfromer, would it still be necessary to use 10mm cable and run it back to fuse board?

Davyjones, I can not see a reference as to if it is a pump shower or Electric.
If Electric 300 Euro to 350 Euro would be fair all in with Material. Depending on cable run.

Re: Rough cost for installing electric shower
I think he means does the shower simply pump the water from the exisitng sources (cylinder for hot water and storage tank for cold water) or does it also heat the water?? This matters greatly because an electric shower that also heats the water uses far more electricity and hence needs separate heavy duty line directly to fuse box, while a simple 'pumped' electric shower may not.
