Any electrical work taking place in a room with a bath or shower cubicle is covered by Part P of the building regulations as it is classed as a special area. Unless you hold the relevant qualifications which judging by your question you don't, you have to notify your local building control before the work commences and then get it inspected. The other alternative is to employ a qualified tradesperson.

Hi mate thanks but thats why i have come to a diy site

whilst you have come to a diy site and the advice given is free we have an obligation to tell you the law.

that said we would need to know the amps required for all 3 items before we can say if 1 supply would be sufficient

 

[PAULGRIFF]

hi againthe 3 items are the pump is 2.8 amp, the power shower is 3 amp and recommends a 30ma rcd to be fitted the electric rad heater i am not sure it does not say on it anywhere. the pump is fitted with a 3 pin plug so can i fit a socket in the airing cupboard ???? or can i fit it in the attic. i am a bricklayer by trade and doing my own things i fitted a kit with gas, elec and water but always get it tested after cheers for any help

What I would do is fit a 13A fused FCU (use a RCD FCU here if the ring isn't already RCD protected) on the ring or a spur from the ring then use that to feed a group of 3A fused FCUs under the bath (i'm assuming here that the area under your bath is only accessible with the use of a tool) for the individual appliance.

We cant notify the local building control for you. You MUST do this.
