As much as underfloor heating, it's basically the same.

Now a radiator with an electric element.......won't be cheaper.

More important is whether the heating engineer is on board!
Basically, we are more than satisfied with the heating on the wall. Especially because the walk-in shower is a bit secluded and thus the wet room is heated really well.

But back to the topic,
generally speaking......it makes no sense to give a remote diagnosis.
4 sqm.....new building/old building....insulated.....how many exterior walls.....all such things are relevant.

It's not extra effort at all. The pipe is simply clipped to the wall. Then it is plastered as usual. It can even be good because you can realize a reasonably decent length of the heating circuit.

For me personally: no!

We have underfloor heating throughout the entire house. According to the general contractor, electric supplementary heaters were also planned in the bathrooms (12 sqm and 4 sqm).

We did not have these electric supplementary heaters installed in the bathroom or the guest WC with shower along with the underfloor heating, but removed them as "self-performance"; we also did not provide any provisions for them.
(77.willo described this directly in his post #12, as it was hinted to us during the equipment consultation "indirectly").

If it ever gets too cold for showering or bathing, there is always the good old fan heater, which will additionally warm up the bathroom for those 10 minutes. In any case, we had no problems with "too cold" this winter.
By the way, our towels also dry after the washing machine on the regular line or hung over the shower overnight.

To be honest, I also can't imagine how it could get too cold. At the moment, we always have 21 degrees in the bathroom here, which is warm enough for everyone. Besides, perhaps the [Wohnraumlüftung] should also distribute the warm air in the house, right? Our plumbing guy has currently planned a 60x190cm heater with 1200 watts in the children's bathroom, isn't that too big?

Best regards
