Hi Guys, had the bathroom refurb a couple of months ago, including electrics.
The bathroom light, and separate fan switch, has been relocated outside the bathroom using a single unit with 2 switches, left switch for light and right switch for fan. It works as it should.
My wife hates the arrangement and wants me to remove the plate and swap the light switch and fan switch position.
Is it as simple as doing that or best avoided?

So, she wants the right switch for light and left switch for fan?
It depends on the switch terminals. If it is a simple switch (ie two sets of C, L1 and L2*) simply unscrew the switch plate, rotate it 180°, and on each switch take the wire out of L1 and move it to L2.

* If it’s a different type of switch, send a picture of the wiring.
 
so do you mean for example the left side of the 2 gang switches the light and the right switches the Fan and so you want the left to switch the fan and the right the switch or visaversa
