Bathroom heated mirror - exposed wagos used to make electrical connection

[ahead2955]

Hi
We had our bathroom renovated a few months ago which included an electrician fitting a heated bathroom mirror. I had reasons to unhook it from the wall recently and discovered that the join between t&e and the mirror 2 core flex has been made with Wagos that are exposed. I won't be calling the electrician back.

I don't feel good about this especially with it being in a moist room and feel he probably should have made the join in an enclosure of some sort? I've been looking for waterproof connectors so I can enclose the join but most are too thick to fit behind the mirror (about 25mm depth).

My other thought was, if possible, to replace the t&e with the same 2 core flex as what's used on the mirror. I could potentially open the mirror back, connect flex cable and run it up to the loft and join to the existing t&e there with a maintenance free box).

What do you think? Am I worrying over nothing? Any advice is appreciated!

Is the better way to do it.

They should be in an enclosure, although it may be difficult to find one which is shallow enough to fit behind the mirror.

Another option is a plug/socket arrangement such as https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/GKLC20.html
