The cold water tank in my loft split this morning - lost of water damage to ceiling below... the water damage I can handle. Think it's a 50 gallon tank (1200x600x600). Just have no idea when it comes to plumbing jobs. Now need to get it replaced asap - what are my options? What can I expect to pay for a plumber to do the whole job? Is it worth buying the tank myself and finding a plumber to fit it for me? Your advice would be appreciated.

Expect to pay in the region of £400 for a proper job. It is quite likely that you need to replace the existing Cistern with a loft cistern also known as a Coffin tank just to get it through the loft hatch!!
No matter what anyone on here says, it is a days labour, I would always pop a few Valves on the new cistern's outlets, a service valve on the Main byelaw 30 kit and renew the pipe lagging too.
A plumber would prefer to give a complete supply and install price.

day - don't want you sleeping in the loft for the afternoon.
Tried going down the route of using my home emergency insurance - the water tank is not covered. The only possibility may be my buildings insurance..
