Also, just noticed that Mira offer a repair service. They are not clear
about pricing (£80 call out charge + parts?).
A new equivalent shower is £220, and as long as the plumbing/wiring
haven't changed (very likely) I am happy to replace it myself.



Is it worth fixing considering its age, or has it reached the end of its
working life and other parts are likely to fail "soon", i.e. a new one
would be a better solution?

Yes chuck the electric one and fit a power shower off your hot water
tank

No tank - a combi.Â* 3 showers, one (v good) off the combi. Other two
electric.

If the combi is fairly powerful (= 35kW) then it will run two good
showers at once. A smaller 24kW boiler will do a couple of reasonable[1]
ones at once.

[1] Where "reasonable" is probably double the flow rate you get from an
electric shower - but not quite up to the standard you get from a combi
with a single shower.
