Replacing a (recently fitted) bathroom.
The incoming supply to the house is earthed, however there is no continuity between the (exposed copper) pipes in the bathroom and earth. I suspect that there is a plastic joint somewhere between the two I cannot see.
There is no bonding in the bathroom at present.
I am planning on bonding the hot & cold water supply in the bathroom to each other.
Do I also need to then bond that to earth? There is an accessible socket and light circuit in the next room I could use, but going back to the CU is unlikely to be easy.
EDIT - All circuits are RCD protected (dual RCD board).
