It's called a switched fused spur, sounds like what you have now is a fused spur. The isolation switch outside the bathroom is a must anyway these days although almost everyone has the same problem you do.
What you are proposing is a very minor job and I'd be inclined to say you could undertake it without any problem but I've not checked the letter of the regulation in these cases recently so I'd have to err on the side of caution and say it's in a bathroom any work needs to be signed off by a registered electrician.
Hopefully you can work out what that means. If you don't have much experience of wiring fused spurs it is possible to get them wrong so they're always live regardless of the switch position, god knows plumbers manage it all the time.

Sup all.
I've been wondering if it's possible to install a switch(plus fuse) in place of the fuse plate under my bathroom towelrail myself? And are there any smartplug options out here? Something that is compliant in a bathroom.
Right now I have to use the safety switch at the top of the wall above the door which is just under ceiling height. So either it's on or it's off as it's so difficult to change.
Are there any such switches? Or Are there other options?
