Hot water tank immersion replacement

    Hi,
    My hot water tank immersion has packed it in.
    Initially the Bath setting wasn't working but, over the last year or so, the Sink setting went and it tripped out the whole house.
    As a result I need a new immersion I'd say.
    So, what is it going to run me to have it fitted?
    It's a single immersion, slotted in the top, I think it's a 36" one as well.
    And, after the unwelcome intervention of the brother in law, my wife thinks we simply must replace the whole tank, with a modern one with the insulation bonded to the tank as well :(

    So, what sort of prices am I looking at for the various options?
    It seems to me that the replacement of the immersion itself is not fraught with difficulty, but how much would it cost me to have a plumber do the work?
    And how much would replacement of my lagged tank with the new one be?

    Thanks

    New immersion fitted between 90-120
    New cylinder incl new immersion between 300-500 for an average sized cylinder.

    Any recommendations for plumbers in the Swords area?
    Not sure if that's permitted, sorry

    Edit: sorry, I read the charter, please ignore the above.
