I have no idea about the UK. I have a feeling they probably use something different.

RE: Romex
Cable-wise you're almost certainly looking for cables to BS6004. Possible types are single core 6241YH, twin & earth 6242YH or triple & earth 6243YH. Others of interest could be 6181YH meter tails, single-core earthing cable type 6491.
You need to get hold of a copy of the 17th Edition Wiring Regs, aka BS7671, and the accompanying "On Site Guide" which has loads of useful guidance for domestic and small commercial installations and which will steer you through the requirements for bathrooms.
