If it's this one it needs to be in Zone 2 which it's not. Above the shower head.

I bet a 'fitter' rather than a sparky installed that then. Not very aesthetically pleasing on the wall either. Also £100 for that, what a rip off.

Great value that! Where did you find your tradesmen?

Sister lived next to a plumber for a bit, she used them for her bathrooms. Put me in touch and got them in to do the work.
I felt like I was project managing the part selections though, was like a military operation, couldn't lean on them too much as I knew my labour costs and stuff were probably lower than they should have been.
I made squares in excel (each square being 1CM) and planned the layouts out with that!
