Bathroom wiring

I am fitting a whirlpool bath into a bathroom and an electrically powered shower(not an electric shower) in a separate ensuite. Both units have flexi cable and it is suggested that they be wired into the mains via spur fused connectors. The wires of both units are long enough to run under the floorboards to a cupboard separate to and outside the bathroom/ensuite zones. The cupboard already has a twin 30ma power breaker socket. Would it be possible to connect suitable amped plugs to the flexi cable and plug both units into the power breaker socket.

It would be safe to do this, providing you match the correct fuse in the plug to that of the motor on the shower unit. Not idea way of doing but it could be done that way. Starange place to have an rcd protected socket.
