Yes, we had the same, constant tripping hazard and we ripped out one of the sockets in the hall that way. Now I just run a short extension from the plug behind the washing machine and have 2 "sockets" on top of the washing machine that way.
I did get shaver sockets installed though so that at least covers the toothbrush chargers.

That would help in some ways but I use a proper shaver so need 240V. I haven't done it in 10 years so I'm unlikely to bother now. But I will continue to whinge about the stupidity of the rules here.

I thought s long as you used a fused spur >600mm from the edge of the bath/sink you were ok as washing machines are appropriately rated for water?
Have the rules changed?

Personally it's utility room or bust for me, bathrooms are for shitting in.
