So I have bought a new shower (http://www.mirashowers.co.uk/onlinecatalog/detail.htm?productNumber=Play%209.5kW&section=Electric%20showers&resultPageKey=316145834-0&category=) which differs somewhat from the 20 year old Mira shower installed when I bought the house. For example, the supply pipe on my old shower came down from the loft and connected to the top right of the shower. The supply pipe needs to be connected to the bottom left of the new shower. In addition, I understand that 9.5kw showers require (or at least advise of) 10mm power cable which I can only assume the existing shower does not need.

I'm looking to hire a plumber/electrician to install the shower and make the relevant changes so the shower can be installed. Is this a complex job and roughly how much should I be looking to pay as a guide?

if the pipe comes down from the loft why not connect this shower the same way ?

get a few quotes.
we can't see the job, so can't price.
how longs the new cable got to be ?
is it a stud wall or block ?
 
I appreciate your comments and certainly intend to get some quotes. I'd obviously like a rough idea of what the process involves so I can ensure I'm not getting ripped off.

I notice you are in Essex too, would you be prepared to quote me?

the showers not a problem.
but if you want/need to upgrade the cable i would need to know if the cable is straightforeward to remove or its buried in the wall etc.

i never quote without seeing to many hidden problems can occur.

essex is a big place where in essex are you ?
