you most likely have a copper cylender then, if thats the case take the plastic cover off on the top 'make sure power is off' and disconect power feed. unscrew thermo rod when its out there about a foot long maybe more, replace with same any electrical outlet will have them and reverse refit. very easy to do mateIt just heats the water, no radiators mate

Try and get a free quote, I did a few years back, £80 for the part and £180 Labour + vat. Got the part for £18 on ebay, watched a video on YouTube and fitted it myself. Job done. Only needed an adjustable spanner and a flat head screw driver.
