    My mother had the Elite St and changed to a Triton so I inherited the Elite and fitted it to replace my one. We'll see how long it lasts , if was working fine for her but got limited use , more a fan of the bath she is ;-)

    Mira parts are very expensive. You're looking at the over 200 for a new motor supply and fitted

    Thanks for your help. Is frustrating as for something that is used once in a blue moon I wanted a cheap alternative and that doesnt seem likely

    Hi, I've read through all but can't see a definitive answer, I'm replacing a Mira Elite ST and want to put in Triton T90sr, is footprint the same or will the plumber have extra to do? the Mira is 90mm from right wall, sorry if its been asked before?

    The Mira Elite is taller than the Triton so the real question is your shower fully tiled behind?

    The Triton should fit in the available space or the pipe might need to be moved a few mm. This isn't a problem in a stud partition.

    If you live in an area that has dedicated shower repair companies they can bring a few showers with them. For anyone changing from Mira to triton I'd always bring a Mira & Triton because you never know if it's tiled behind till the old shower comes off the wall

    Was hoping you'd be the poster to answer my queries.

    I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. My wife would prefer the silent shower so I'll ask the showerman to bring both the tritons. I'm in Cork otherwise I'd ask you to do it.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Largepants,
    Apologies in advance for bumping an old thread.
    Did you get this job done in the end?
    I am in Cork and have the exact same dilemma - swapping out a MiraElite ST for a Triton.
    Finding it difficult to get someone to take on the work.
    Every one i contacted just wants to come in and out and only just swap like for like. 390 euro is the going rate in Cork for supply and fit the Mira Elite QT.
    More like 320 euro in Dubland.

    Can yuo recommend anyone?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I've sent you a pm with someone's details just in case largepants doesn't get back to you. It's close to Christmas and we're all flat out at the moment
