Replace hot ware cylinder quote

[stender]

Any ideas how much it costs to replace a hot water cylinder, including Essex flange?
Cost of cylinder and labour.

Thanks in advance

£2000 + vat.

 

[denso13]

£400 cash

Crezzar is obviously fitting a Swarovski encrusted tank.

£400? How much is a cylinder and how many hours labour?
I could do it myself if it weren’t for the essex

Buy one with tapping already built into side and do it yourself no need for Essex flange then

I don’t know that’s why I’m asking but it’s no 2 grand. Could have a combi fitted for that.

Sorry what’s tapping? Do you mean one comes with hole already cut for the flange?

Yes instead of fitting Essex flange to new cylinder get one with a connection already on it

Had a google but couldn’t seem to find any. I’m hoping my existing one can be fixed as it’s leaking from the flange. I’ve tried some fernox lx but the pressure keeps the leak going. I did part empty the cylinder before applying.
I’m trying to get a plumber out to check but not many are responding

£600.00 including cylinder

post a picture and maybe we can walk you through a repair

That’s what I was thinking but do I price the cylinder as they seem to vary in price. How much is the old one worth as I assume the plumber will hope I don’t ask to keep it?

Keeping the cylinder would be part of my price.

Thank you. Pics don’t show a lot. I video the leak but can’t seem to upload it.
If you’ve seen the ongoing sagas of my plumbing issues you will know I had a plumber in to replace gate valves to shower pump for lever ones. The flange moved a bit when he was doing it and it’s leaked since. There was clearly a leak prior to that but the gunk must of been sealing it. The leak is coming from the bottom of the flange and something white which I assume is either a washer or plumbers mate. It below the brass nut. I’ve tried lx a few times.

I need to switch my pump for a new one but wary of undoing the pipes and making the leak worse.
Also not sure if it will be a straight replacement or will need new pipes.
