Adding a suitable heater to a tiny toilet for my mum

Yes. You don't need a fuse because a lighting circuit is already 6A, but if you're going to have one, you may as well put a 3A fuse in it.

The backbox usually has a moulded breakout that you can nip off.

Thanks again for all the replies everyone. Sorry, I messed up the measurements, mm instead of cm..:rolleyes: @plugwash I'm in SE UK. Forgive the Americanism, socket then?

@JohnD Looking at the prices of heated towel racks on screwfix, they're a wee bit pricey. I was hoping for something more round the £50 mark. Would any of the ones on amazon for around £50 be ok to use? Or would they not throw out enough heat to be used as a heater?
And why is it so difficult to put ones location in their profile?

So often someone is after something, such as a crimp connector recently which I hold working stocks of and would have happily donated if local. Etc.
 
I just bought one of these to heat up my airing cupboard (now the hot tank has gone)
650watts (less than 3 amps - so OK to run from lighting circuit) and has a built in thermostat. Small. Cheap too. It works really well.

If there's a handwash basin then position carefully. There isn't an official "zone" below a basin but common sense should apply. I wouldn't locate anything electrical where someone could splash water onto it.

Does your incorrect advice extend to kitchens?
There’s no end of water and electricity in my kitchen.
