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?
Jokes about outside loos aside, there is a genuine case for such things for stroke victims and similar disabling conditions. There is no reason why for example having had a stroke should also condemn you to the embarrassment of feeling uncomfortable and smelling funny, and the risk of sores and related complications.
There could be an argument for suitably located fused spurs in bathrooms in accommodation for older folk as a matter of course - given we routinely locate sockets and switches in with disability in mind, maybe this should be added to the list to think about.
