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?

    You will not be able to use a normal plug and socket if there is a shower  or bath within 3m of it. However fixed wiring installed in a suitably waterproof way will be no issue. The same rules apply as would for a whirlpool bath, namely that mains needs to be out of reach of the users, RCD protected and so on.
