Fauly Immersion Heater - How Expensive to Fix?
Can anyone advise a ballpark figure that I can expect to be charged by a home counties plumber for replacing the immersion heater?
The heater is a "Creda Rehead" 27" fitting into the top of a "Hercal coil indirect cylinder".
Many thanks ...

The parts should be no more than �80 maximum. In my reckoning, from the few I have replaced, it is not more than 1 hours work if there are no problems. It is a simple job most of the time.
Don't know what a plumber charges per hour where you are - �50-75 at a very rough guess ? Maybe a callout fee on top of that ?
Ensure whoever does it replaces the thermostat at the same time as the element. My figure includes that.
But if you've managed to test out the wiring as you describe, why not have a go yourself ?
I've been wary of tales of people wrecking the cylinder trying to remove a seized immersion heater.
I'm feeling that (a) it would be worthwhile taking an afternoon off to have a go and (b) I can call in the professionals if I do get stuck.
