In many small bathrooms, that could prove difficult.

I have what I'd call small bathroom, as theres no room for a shower, just the toilet, sink and bath. You can't turn on the heater while having a **** but can if havign a ****, unless you sit down for it.



It also has a pull cord to activate it rather than a switch, so if you
do get out the bath then thre's little chance of wet hand getting water
on a live component.

The pull cord switch is specifically there to allow use with wet hands,
etc.

Yes but I was told it still had to be out of reach of anyone standing in water.
But I doubt it's the cord anyway as my switch has a metal cord.
