If you are a quailified registered electrician or have notifed your local building controls of the work you intend to carry out you can, providing it complies with regulation related to bathrooms in BS7671:2008, that means it is outside the zones that this accessory is not permitted to be installed.

Hi Andy,
mikedb3's
subject matter said Bathroom electrics, so I assumed it would have at least have a bath in it?

your extractor fan will also need to comply to regulations, remember it is notifiable work, if you are not employing part p registered installer.
