Electric shower unit above bath OK?

Is it permissible to locate an electric shower unit above a bath? I don't envisage the thing leaping off the wall and electrocuting someone taking a bath, but then the building regs do seem to err on the side of extreme caution sometimes...

TIA

Above as in on the ceiling? ;-)

Or on one of the walls the bath is up against?

The latter is a quite common arrangement ...

If you mean in the conventional "shower over the bath" arrangement then its fine. (you think of a bath as a deep shower tray!)

they have to be located outside and you turn them on and off with the use of a ladder, all in the interest of health and safety.
