Default Bathroom earth bonding questions

Hello,
We've recently had our onsuite bathroom done and I have a few
questions about electrical bonding. I'm neither a plumber or
electrician so know very little about this. Here is what was done to
the ensuite.

Bath removed and pipes capped.
Sink Replaced - kept pipework.
Toilet replaced - kept pipework.
Mixer shower installed.
Stuart Turner monsoon shower pump installed in airing cupboard.
Pipe work for shower run from ST pump in airing cupboard, into loft
across master bedroom and then down into ensuite.
Radiator replaced with towel rail. Towel rail plumbed into boiler hot
water circuit so we have a warm towel rail in summer when CH is off.

The house is 7 years old and all pipework in the ensuite is copper.

The original radiator was electrically bonded as I remember seeing the
earth wire - the rad in the main bathroom is also bonded. The new
towel radiator is not bonded. Here's my questions:

1). Should the new towel rad be bonded - if so do I bond to the
pipework or rad itself.
2). Should the shower pipework be bonded - if so can this be done in
the airing cupboard.
3). I'm unable to see any bonding for the toilet, bath and sink in the
ensuite and main bathroom - in fact the only bonding visable in both
bathrooms was the original rad - should these be bonded as well?

Thanks

Pete

A search engine will pull up a number of threads on this subject in
the past month.

Who actually carried out the work? Surely if it is 'new electrical work
in a bathroom' then it should be 'Prat Peeeed' should it not? because
of the shower pump? or does that not count as it is in the cylinder
cupboard? IYSWIM
