I have been given a new electric toothbrush. The problem is the the

standard UK plug. Apart from cutting off the plug and joining it to a
razor plug has any one any suggestions please? the plus and toothbrush
charger is moulded.

Is the 13A plug original, or has someone changed it?
If original, the appliance isn't for use in a bathroom
(which would be rather stupid).

Everybody I know uses one in the kitchen, where there are 13A sockets. Although I've seen quite a few come with a 2 pin shaver plug and an adapter so you can use it in either room.

I've stuck an adapter on my bathroom shaver socket (and removed the transformer) so I can plug anything I like in there up to the 5A limit of the lighting circuit.

Maybe it's intended to
be charged outside the bathroom, but uses internal
battery when in use?

I haven't seen one you plug in while using it since 40 years ago. It (a Boots model) plugged into a big battery block containing 6 C cells. The brush was on a curly cord.
