Dodgy wiring in rental flat

[dodgywiring]

Ive recently rented a flat that i didnt view before renting, due to being out the country.

Anyway we've moved in and its a bit of a ********.

But in the bathroom which is on the 2nd floor there is an electrical wire which leads to the electric shower that is exposed, and this wire to my disbelief is attached to the water pipes ... surely with all the regulations in England this cant be acceptable?

I know little about electrics but im presuming its not the earth wire as i believe id see the yellow green.

Anyway ive uploaded some pictures if anyone can confirm this is dangerous id appreciate it as i bathe my baby daughter in here.

PS I believe it was wired by a friend of the landlord who is a jack of all trades

Is it just me or does that cable look a bit on the small side to be supplying a shower?

it looks like a power shower,so only needs a 3amp supply to run the internal pump

MM every ones looked at the shower but im sure that type of shaver light isnt suitable for zone 2 , most shaver lights are for outside the zones or the old zone 3

Hehheh, and shelf directly under fan heater - must be nice to have lovely warm toothpaste on a cold morning

These type of shaver lights have a strip light behind the diffuser there is no ip ratings for them and they are dual voltage so it is possible for some one to shave using an electric 230 volt shaver whist having a shower ............hope its RCD protected
