Our bathroom is tiny and has 2 pull cords next to each other - one for the light and the other for the electric shower. The pull cords look grubby and the cords keep snapping off so they get shorter and shorter until I replace them (again).
The shower ceiling rose has the coving cut out around it and looks terrible. Below both ceiling roses (light and shower) is an antiquated wall heater with another ugly box cut into the coving and wires coming from it.
We moved in a couple of years ago and next on the agenda is replacing and decorating the bathroom. An electrician came out recently to take a look at getting rid of the pull cords and heater, and moving the switches to outside the bathroom.
For various reasons the electrician doesn't think this will be possible and has suggested having the shower switch high on the wall outside the bathroom (on at all times due to the height the switch will be), and replacing the light pull cord with a wireless switch outside the bathroom.
I've had a look online and can see kinetic light switches that sound like they could do the job. I 100% don't want WiFi switches or bulbs so kinetic switches sounds like the answer.
Does anyone have any experience of them?
I suppose another possible solution is replace the existing light cord with a decent one, and put the shower switch outside like he suggested, leaving just one pull cord instead of the current mess.
