be in for a big expensive and messy shock. A new "quick recovery"

current and near future problems all in one go.

Perhaps you'd quote an approximate cost for this against the DIY 10 quid
or so for a new immersion?

Of course, I forgot there were money trees in planet Drivel.

And also the cost of building the appropriate blast walls as according
to my local "plumbing merchant counter assistant" these hot water
tanks explode all the time.
