Rather than a spur, I was going to break into ring on that floor and extend it to the bathroom. It is a bit of a pain as there isn't a straight forward way (that I can think of) to do it other than go to the nearest socket (bedroom across the landing) and split it there. Rather than have a junction box I was going to add an extra socket besides it to take feed back from the bathroom to rejoin the ring (if you see what I mean).

You could just run one cable as a spur off the back of the bedroom
socket instead of extending the ring. Assuming that the back box is deep
enough to accommodate the extra cable.

The fuse or breaker doesn't have to be at the start of the spur, it can
be in the bathroom cupboard.
