Heat a small shower room

I would appreciate any ideas of how to heat a small shower room.
There isn`t room for any kind of radiator/towel rail.
A few years back you could get an infrared one bar fire that fixed to the wall with a pull switch but I don`t think these are available anymore.
An infrared bulb would be ideal but they seem to be for heating pets etc and screw in whereas my socket is bayonet.

Underfloor heating? Or are you looking for something to add to the existing bathroom, rather than something that would need a new floor / bathroom.

The replacement for your bar heater is a fan heater.
Think they are still legal to install.
I have one and in 5mins it has the little shower room toasty. If you have it where you stand under it will dry your back too
Fits on the wall

So small a room it has to be ip68 rated?
A IR panel would be almost hidden, or stand https://www.amazon.co.uk/Coldfighting-Efficient-Radiators-Overheating-Protection/dp/B0C85H9VRP/

Infra red glass bulbs are a very bad idea in a shower room. I know. I made one explode when I was a teenager 50-odd years ago when a drop of water hit the exposed lamp.
You can still get the linear quartz heaters (quartz lamps are much harder to make explode, as my colleague found when trying to replicate the Jan Leeming incident). https://www.screwfix.com/p/mh-10-1-wall-mounted-quartz-heater-600-1200w/1238P is one example and is IPx4 rated so possibly suitable for use in a shower room (but not in the shower itself).
A wall fan heater is probably unsuitable for a small room. Probably too powerful and only IP22 although Dimplex say it is suitable for a bathroom. https://www.screwfix.com/p/winterwarm-wwdf20e-wall-mounted-fan-heater-2000w-229mm-x-242mm/409fv2 -
You can get IP44 rated IR panel heaters that can be wall or ceiling mounted.0

Just to follow who suggested it might be too small a space - my en suite is 1mtr x 3mtrs (including the shower space.
Good thing I'm small
Enjoy the warm back dry 2010!I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
