Just had my 30 year old Mira shower mixer serviced.
Fixed price at £189 and they fitted £400 worth of parts (at shower doctors prices). The only thing original is the casting and the trim.
I think I can recommend Mira for service.
Mine's probably only 18'ish Y/O, it had to have a new cartridge after about 3 years, which at the time made me worry it'd need one every 3 years, but it's been fine since.
Worth remembering.
I bought a new one on the Internet a few years ago and they kept trying to persuade me to pay for a maintenance contract that cost as much as I paid f or the shower.

I've had two in about 25 years - and it's needing replacing again.
The rest of it is a bit tatty - might be worth paying for that service.
You may well pay less, mine was the most expensive they did when I fitted it and the service price reflects it. The cheaper ones start at £119.
I had the expensive one because it could maintain the temperature to 1 degree and I used it to run a water bath in my darkroom.
Right. Mine is the rather old low pressure type with 22mm feeds.
Just looked and the book price for mine (Excel built-in) is now £636
The lad couldn't understand what I was getting at when I said I was better off without the contract. (On the basis that if I did have a problem it wouldn't cost much to replace the shower. That was around
10 years ago.)
I have had a number of folk quite unable to understand the concept that, for a risk you could handle if necessary, if the insurance company can make enough profit to stay in business, then you are, on average, better off saving the money.
