Bathroom mirror electrics

[r1flyguy]

Hello All

I’m looking to move a bathroom mirrored cabinet and replace it with a mirror due to it sticking out too far. I would like one which is heated and built in bluetooth speaker maybe. Problem is the nearest power supply would be a shaver plug which is concealed in a bathroom storage unit.

Hi All, Newbie Here in midst of extension

One are of this project I did consider doing myself but only due to time I decided against it was the house frontage, namely the driveway. I knew what I wanted and after several quotes I decided to go with a local firm as the price quoted was not the cheapest but not the dearest either but...

The cabinet protrudes too far out so plan to fix it on the opposite wall above the toilet replacing it with a mirror. The power source (shaving socket) is in the upper storage of the unit nearest the mirrored current cabinet.

Question is, is it possible to take a spur off this power source? If not, no problem l will just fit a normal mirror, would just be nice to have the option if possible.

Thanks in anticipation.

Alternatively, some mirrors come with a shaver socket so could i ‘repurpose‘ the current socket wiring and reroute it for the mirror itself?

Yes - one way or another.

To re-wire a whole house it may be worth paying LABC their fees, but for a small job in a restricted area just not worth it, get some one who is a scheme member to do the job, it's cheaper.

As for taking power for a heated mirror or shaver socket, it can really come from any source, as long as the appropriate protection is used, RCD, MCB, RCBO or FCU what ever the guy signing the paperwork feels is required.

If your still under LABC and work has not had the completion certificate yet, then up to the LABC inspector, I found some were very easy to work with, but some could ask for some daft things, but it is up to them.
