the round pin socket is a good idea but its directly above a door. Thanks for your help bud I appreciate it .

Its a downstairs room so access isn't availible. I think I'm going to go ahead and go with the dry lining box. With a brushed steel flat blanking plate. So I could just run a single neutral and live and earth obviously ? Its 1mm and I have lots of 1.5 but I guess it's best to keep it the same ?

Unfortunetly I cant get access to complety replace the cables. I was hoping to join the wires in arrangement in a dry lining box in the ceiling for access. Would it be fine to use a terminal block ? what sort of junction box where you thinking of ?

well....i'm not an electrician or a plumber for that matter but my friend works for a kitchen and bathroom supplier and she would not let me buy a gainsborough shower because of the amount of them that end up going on fire !! not trying to alarm you :D the manual that you get with them...
