Just a quick one for any builders, plumbers or electricians....

We need (want) a power shower smile

I know it's difficult to know as every house is different, but we have been quoted £1700 to fit a Mira power shower over existing bath.

We need electrics up there for it too- so part of the cost will be electrician costs- I think it was something about an extra fusebox maybe?.

The chap has not broken down all the costs and we will be asking for this in due course, all we do know is that he has allowed £420 for the shower unit and has accounted for a glass screen to cover the bath, water pipes are at the other end of the bath, and all parts and labour in this price

Some people have said it's cheap, others have said expensive... is anyone in the know?

I forget to say, we are getting another quote too, but was wandering in the meantime how off course we were

Can you expand on the work of devil please... what are the pro's and cons for example, I don't think I knew personally what difference there was, I just thought there was a mixer tap shower, a normal shower, and a power shower.

Does a normal pumped shower give the same water pressure with the pump as a power shower? which would be cheaper to run, and which is cheaper to install.
Sorry for all the questions
