I don't want the hassle now so am looking for some short-term fixes for
heating in this bathroom. I had considered buying one of those portable
calor gas bottle heaters but then I saw, in a friend's house, they had what
looked like an enormous light-bulb which, in reality, was giving off alot of
heat. Does anyone know anythign about these - good, bad, safe, where to buy?
Or should I got for the calor gas option instead.

Thoughts welcome,


Don't ever use a calor gas appliance in a bathroom it could be deadly.

For the heating bulb look for "heat lamps", some he

You need the type made of hard glass soft glass will shatter if it gets
splashed whilst it's hot. £6.88 for a pack of 10 (+vat)

Check also that the socket will withstand the temperature.

Would seem to be a reasonable solution for what you need.
