The bathroom is one of the most dangerous rooms in the home when it comes to electricity. With constant moisture, steam, and the presence of high-powered appliances like hairdryers or heated towel rails, the risk of electrical shock or fire is significantly higher. Many homeowners worry about old wiring, unsafe power points near sinks, or flickering lights around mirrors.
