Electric cables and fuzse box right behind new shower - safe?

That's not allowed. You can't just run buried cables in walls with no sign that they're there unless they're within 150mm of a corner.

Good summary here: https://flameport.com/wiring_regulations/BS7671_selected_subjects/zones_concealed_cables.cs4

It's been a long time since I ran cables, but I do remember that.

How do you maintain 99% of cables in your home then?

Without having to cut out cement from the wall.

I'm curious though, what maintenance are you doing? Cables tend to be in inaccessible places either in cavities or chased into walls or floors, in ceilings etc so the maintenance worry doesn't make sense to me.

Which is pretty much the way I understood it and will not be pursuing you for any other answers

About middle ground. One was 2k more, another 2k less.

Pretty standard for cables to be buried into walls so unless you plan on opening your walls up to 'maintain' your cables then its a meaningless argument.

What are the cables for, the shower or a ring? (Or both).

a Plug socket

a Plug socket

I don't know what bothers me more, the fact that it's not level, or the different shade of white. I'm interested to know what gets plugged in while in the shower (assuming the owner is still alive).
