Im not sure whether a kickspace fan heater would be allowed in a small
bathroom but at least the heat would be starting off at floor level.


Shops have ceiling mounted fan heaters directing the air flow towards the
floor. Why not something similar for a bathroom for almost a like for like
replacement.

Example:

or

You would have to check if its suitable for bathroom use.


That is the exact fan heater that has just self-distructed after many
years of service - but it's also the same fan heater that only heats
the top two feet of the 7ft 6in high room :-@


Presumably the fan has inadequate power. If it's beyond repair, your best options are infra-red heater, typically 500-1kW, and another fan heater. But thermostatise them properly this time.
