Bathroom Mirror replacement Electrics

[englishdesi]

Hi All,

I have pasted below a photo of my bathroom mirror with lights (when working). The background is, the other day my tenant shoved her hair straighteners in the shaver socket. This resulted in the circuits being tripped. Once she had reset the circuit breaker. She noticed that the lights in the mirror and shaver socket did not work, nor did the lights in the cupboard by the mirror.

I had an electrician out today who said that the electrics in the mirror were fried (transformer and other bits) and he managed to do a bit of re-wiring to get the lights working again (same with the cupboard). However what he could not fix was the shaver socket saying that it would be so expensive to fix, I would end up needing a new bathroom mirror unit.

I just wondered if anyone had seen the mirror below and knew where I could get the replacement electrical box that sits on top of it or should I just leave it as it is ?

I am not bothered the shaving socket does not work.

Any advice appreciated[/img]

Show us a picture of the shaver bit.

The shaver socket should be connected via a 20VA isolating transformer.

This is a likely one: http://www.hafele.co.uk/shop/p/shaving-sockets/isolating-transformer-20va/12672/9280
however the difficulty is that they are usually only sold in bulk to manufacturers of bathroom furniture and lighting equipment, and even if you can find somewhere that sells them individually, it is likely to be expensive.
