Huh? Detached the shaving light above the mirror and I find this big fucking hole behind it? Never seen this before, was expecting some kind of box embedded in the wall. Here the wire emerges from behind some kind of metal sheet, then runs free inside the hole.
(The weird colours comes from me having sanded down the surrounding area.)
Is it OK if I fill the whole with plaster, and let the wire emerge trough the plaster from a smallish hole? The layer of plaster isn't deep enough for a metal back box. But I wanted to check with you guys that it's safe and legit to do so.
It doesn't have to look pretty. This area will be covered with a new mirror and a new bathroom strip light just above the mirror.
