Thanks

"You can get a different model. Get an electrician to do it rather than a plumber as a lot of plumbers won't touch electrical showers"

"Hi, You could replace it with a cheaper model but this may mean alterations to the plumbing and / or the electric supply so would cost more to install.
It's probably worth paying the extra amount to get the same model.
Hope this helps.

"Hi
Any model as long as the model covers any hole and most importantly has the same electrical rating.
Clearly Pipework that supplies the shower needs to be in the correct location as existing unit."

"You can get alternatives but it would be best you get your current installation checked to ensure it meets current requirements."
