I need to cross bond two sinks fed by an instant electric water heater

a
cloakroom (no bath or shower.)

No you don't. Supplementary bonding is not required.

Thanks.
Interesting.

I have a failure certificate from an NICEIC member electrician stating that
this needs to be done before we get a pass!

I know of an NICEIC member who is obsessed with bonding anything
remotely metallic, regardless of whether it inherantly reduces safety
or not! It doesn't neccesarily mean they know what they're doing
because they're in the NICEIC or similar.

Would it make a difference that this installation is in a public building
and not a domestic property?

Regs is regs. Although it does depend on what type of public building,
and whereabouts within it the pipework is. Also some authorities
specify 'extra regulations' over and above BS7671 so it may need
doing. Doubtful though.
