    Hi guy's, I'm no use with plumbing or electrics but seems the shower has just given up the ghost. From googling I see there are pumpted showers etc... I'm not sure what type I have but the model is .... Mira Elite st

    All of a sudden the water pressure has become low and the shower is making like a grinding noise inside it.

    I see from Woodies the rough cost of a shower is around 250, any idea how much a plumber would charge to replace a shower ?

    I've tried a few numbers of plumbers but no answer.

    Cheers

    We had the low pressure light and a bit of noise and it was just a dirty filter (after you take off the cover, it's behind a small plastic shield on the bottom left).

    If you're reasonably handy/confident enough to do it, take off that the black nut in the picture below with an adjustable spanner (obviously you should turn off the power and water first) and clean it out to see if it helps. Even rinsing it under the tap usually removes most of the grit.

    It should work out cheaper for shower repair company to supply and fit rather than you buy the shower & pay separately for installation. You'll get a Triton t90sr or Mira Elite SE supplied & fitted for under 350 euros in Dublin. The Mira Elite SE dual with rain head will be under 500 supplied & fitted

    This is the solution here, if not an issue with the pump its the filter, I do this for my parents every now and then and it restores normal service

    Thanks for the replies.

    Well, I called some guy out, it cost 90 quid to fix. Over the phone he thought it was the pump but I heard him talking to the guy he had with him and he said something about brushes being blocked or something like that so the final cost was 90. If it was the pump it would have been 140.

    He quoted me 380 for a new triton to replace the mira.

    I'm in the Galway area now, not dublin so I'm not sure if he is expensive or not.

    Just pleased to have it back up and running.
