My understanding is that is not entirely technically correct.
You can have standard sockets in bathrooms in the UK.
But, and it's a big BUT, 99.999% of bathrooms in the UK are not big enough to be able to place the socket 3m away from the relevant wet "zone" (shower and/or bath and/or sink, IIRC).
However, IIRC, shaver sockets are OK, as are spurs. Irrespective of bathroom size.
- nixgeek 4y agoYou’re correct, bathrooms in UK are zoned and most houses aren’t big enough to meet the distance requirements from the “wet zones” to accommodate a regular socket/outlet. Shaver sockets are typically going to have ingress protection. https://www.tapwarehouse.com/blog/how-to-guides/understanding-ip-ratings-and-bathroom-zones https://www.tapwarehouse.com/blog/how-to-guides/understandin...
