Are Electrical Bidet Installations Illegal in Most UK Bathrooms?
Former Community Member
I was hearing about bidets being possibly cheaper and more hygenic, and I was looking into installing one. They need a mains supply, and a fused outlet plate. Is it just not possible in this country?
I've never heard of a bidet needing an electrical supply (perhaps we're behind the times here up north) - usually just hot & cold water and drainage...
But I don't see any particular problem fitting electrical versions in UK bathrooms - some care would be needed with regard to zoning, but as long as the FCU is 600mm or more from the bath or shower and the device itself is suitable for the zone, it should be possible in most cases.
