Default PF Plumbers?

Hi all

Just wondering what a ballpark price would be to fit a power shower into a shower cubicle, that already has a standard gravity fed shower fitted? Water pressure is crap and would like something done about it!

Just looking for a very rough estimate of cost before I go thinking about it anymore!!!

Thanks

Rich

the biggest part of the job/cost would be the electrical supply i imagine? how close is it to your consumer unit? and easy of a run?

Are you asking for a "Pumped" shower or to get an Electric shower fitted.....

Some peoples idea of a power shower are very different??

By the sounds of it, as you all ready have a gravity shower fitted then fittiing a good pump to this should make a huge difference as long as the cold water feed tank to the hot water is big enough to cope

electric is the cost ,and you need change the cold from tank to mains nowt off a job as

Something to consider with power shower (looks like electric shower, but has hot and cold feed, with built in pump) - they can be fookin noisey.
