Default Iffy wiring - should I worry?

Having just had the bathroom floor up (qv my thread on shower trays!) I find
that the muppet who previously owned the house (10 years ago) had wired the
shaver socket using a length of ordinary appliance flex rather than proper
fixed wiring cable.

Given the amount of work it would take to rectify it (tracing the source and
re-exposing the flex from under a fully-tiled wall!), and given the low
current drawn by the shaver socket, will I be able to sleep nights if I just
nail the floorboards back down again...?

If you don't use the shaver socket, or can live without out it, why not
just simply disconnect it?
