I'm thinking about converting a downstairs bathroom to a utility room:

mains sockets.

Does taking out the bath mean that the bathroom building regs no longer
apply? If not, what is the criterion which defines a bathroom and means
that no sockets are allowed?

Thanks.

If you take any notice of the Yanks, its still a bathroom even if only
ever built containing a long drop bog!
