Well this is the list of rates where doyou think it needs to be? My assumption is IP4 unless your workshop activities include pressure washer.

Lay the cable into the tub such that is doesn't go past the top of the future mirror with an extension of a piece of single as a draw wire to the end of the tube and carefully laid in loop above. When you need it break in, hook out draw wire and pull until you have enough cable. Lay in tube...

Just suggestin'

Is not the simple thing to bury a plastic conduit in the wall to the lowest likely point of the new mirror and after measuring the position very accurately plaster it over and decorate. Then if/when you decide to fit a device requiring power;chop into the unblemished wall and into the conduit at...

Which is incorrect. I believe it has changed since but at (before)harmonisation it became +ve = (red)brown, -ve = (blue)grey, 0v(earth or chassis)/midpoint = (black)blue A little while ago, I believe it was on this forum someone indicated it's now red, white, (and I think)blue which happens to...

That makes a lot of sense and the idea of a striped cable to make it different is a brilliant idea, so why did they stupidly chose yellow and green which sit beside each other on the colour spectrum and the stripes frequently disappear under some very ordinary lighting. I beg to differ on that...

Yep absolutely, but the way I see it; we can only kick a can around until OP comes back with useful information.

and a fair bit of new still does.

And of course red, yellow and blue are primary colours and black is lack of any colour/lack of any voltage so very logical. However the subject of core colours has been done to death a few times. example: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/brown-blue-black-and-g-y-flex.528547/

I've even seen T&E used as 3 phase.

Some countries used brown, black,black as 3ph and still saw this format as recently as 2019 being installed in Spain. FWIW I assume, like you, it is old colour T&E but I don't know why it's being assumed it's the switched live

That seems most likely. My other thought might be pyro EDIT or even some european 3 phase Brown, black, black. Sometime red and brown can get very close.

That is the better way if possible.

No, one already is the loop-in You currently have 2 Brown, 2 blue and 2 earth wires to this switch (2 cables) and in my solution without chasing out the wall you require 3; loop-in, main switched line & shower switched line so reusing one of the blues and adding brown sleeve (just as seen for...

Before I go any further: Can you get a new cable to the switch? If so it would be the nicest way to do the job. If not is there any slack in the loft for those 2 cables in order to cut them and terminate in the junction box? A word of warning - wago boxes require a lot of slack.
