Light switch in bathroom

[Nataliecase93]

I am not an electrician but I had my bathroom re done and a electrician replaced my light pull cord with a switch it is 1.4m away from my bath I was told this was ok. I have had another electrician come out for another job and has been in my bathroom and said it needs to be a pull cord and isn’t allowed

Yeah I get your point. Although to say something is OK because you've never had a tingle is not a convincing argument ?

Nor any of my customers. It's not a conclusive argument, but it is evidence.
I remember reading some promotional blurb once, from Crabtree, IIRC, when they introduced the 4000 range, about the way they had redesigned the area around the plate and rocker, compared to the 2000 series, to make their plate switches even more resistant to water ingress.
I remember a Greek hotel room several years ago, where the light switch was right beside the shower valve in the 'wet room' style shower.
