Mira 415, replace with new shower

Windsor70

Hi

I have a Mira 415 (2001 year) combi shower, its leaking like mad and I have been quoted alot of money that I dont have to fix it. I think a cheaper option would be for me to buy a new shower and get a plumber to fit it. Is it possible that someone could recommend a shower that I could buy to replace it please?

With many thanks in advance for your help.

might be worth trying a seal service pack first?
12 quid.
easy enough diy job.

Thanks for your reply.

In was told it would need a new cartridge and because it has been leaking for a while, that irreplaceable damage might have been done??? I have been made redundant recently, so have to watch my purse strings closely especially with Christmas looming. The water flow from the shower head has gone from just drips to a constant stream of water. Its costing me a fortune in gas aswell.

If I were to replace the shower completely, is it something a complete novice could do as well?

As always, all replies very much appreciated.
