Upshot is you have two live conductors, and no neutrals at switch.

Sorry I put my hand up it was my mistake, looks like I will need to come from an existing power socket from lounge? I will get a sparky in just thought I would make a route for cable to save time, also need to check with wife if its ok to have some trunking in the bathroom!

HI I have had a look and there is an earth into a block, then a blue nuetral into L1

NO.

If there are only two or three wires connected to the switch then there is no neutral. The black or blue wire is NOT neutral, it is a switched live.

Think about what would happen if you had live & neutral wired to a switch like that.
