Not sure if it'll work yet, but just thought i'd propose the idea to anyone with room in their linen cupboard 
I've trialled the temperature and works great, only about 0.5 deg c of a difference, top to bottom. I've put poly sheets in to fill in some gaps and try and prevent any humidity loss, but not tried that out yet. Fits 10 tubs, i used 150W heat cable, with tie wraps and sticky things from B&Q.

looks great royalpython. i had to think twice before i posted. i couldny mind if it was you or someone else who banned me from replying to their posts. but it was someone else. that looks good, and is really better than having clothes, linen etc in it. where are the clothes etc though?

haha, it's only the one shelf, the linen has been moved to the boiler cupboard now, although, it might have been better in there
Fan came from a HVAC technician, so i'm not entirely sure what sort of fan it is. I can ask though, it's powerful enough
My other half has to watch out, downstaires we have a walk in cupboard for jackets etc, so i may one day utilize that if i'm allowed to |

i only trialled it with the doors closed at one temperature which was 32.8 deg c on top, and 32.3 deg c at the bottom. i'll be honest, i was shocked there was such little difference  |
