    New electric shower or replace with mixer shower?

    I've recently bought my first house & the electric shower has started to smell like burning. I've turned it off & won't be using it. I've never had an electric shower before, would it be a costly job to replace the electric shower with a mixer shower? If it matters the shower is at the opposite end to the bath taps. If I was to replace the electric shower, it's a Triton 3+ 9.5 watt. The new ones I've seen in my budget are 4.5 watt, would this have a, lot less pressure than my current one? I'm on a budget & have no idea about these things so which option would be cheaper to install & also cheaper to run long term? Thank you

    UPVC door lock - inside handle up, outside still opens it!

    Pushing the door handle upwards, would normally stop the door opening from outside from what I understand. This does not seem to be the case. Is the a lock issue or something else?

    What do builders material costs include?

    Do builders add any sort of surplus to the price of materials when they supply them for a homeowner as part of a project or should the cost of materials be just that, based on what the cost is in store?
