However, the location she would like it mounted could be reached by someone standing in the bath. Having informed her that I cannot site it where she wants it, and why, she is somewhat sceptical - using the premise that no one would be doing that. Perhaps you could verify this?

Answer: As you will be aware, BS7671: 2008 (17th Edition) bathroom zones will apply for new installations, and any item of equipment should be suitable for installation in that zone.
In addition all circuits should now have additional protection by a 30mA RCD.
