electric shower buying & fitting

I need to get an electric shower as my hot water boiler has broke and i am waiting for warm front to replace it ( could be 3 months) in the mean time i have no hot water. I have seen them in argos and tescos for around £50 cheapest but who do i need to get to put it in , just electrician or do i need plumber as well.(might seem a stupid question but i really dont know) Is there also someone out there wanting to take the job in Bradford West Yorkshire

    You seem to be expending a lot of effort for what appears to be a temporary solution. You need both a plumber and an electrician or an electrician who is capable of doing the plumbing work. No combination or variation of them will be cheap. As a complete guess you are looking at a minimum of £150 labour. You may need a number of electrical parts which aren't cheap either. I would also caution against a £50 shower, I wouldn't like to fit one and I've seen some of them and they can be very basic.

    Those are my principles. If you don't like them, I have others.
    I have writer's block - I can't begin to tell you about it.
    You told me again you preferred handsome men but for me you would make an exception.
