Do you have ducted heating outlets and/or evaporative outlet in your bathrooms?
No, but then we don’t have heating requiring ducts

Yup. I do.

Yes heating in bathroom n ensuite. We have it in the laundry too
We have it in the main bath but not the ensuite as I figured the duct in the bedroom should be enough. We also have a heat lamp - IXLTastic thing in each and to be honest, even in Winter, with the heat light and the heater on it can be really hot in the main bathroom. If I had my time again I might have put the duct in the ceiling space in front of the bathroom door and toilet door so the general area got heated but not the bathroom directly.
Best to avoid forced heating in the bathroom as you have a lot of moisture and the ultimate target is to get rid of the moisture (fans are generally used for that) rather to keep heating it up with the forced air and therefore promoting fungus and mold.
Heat lamps suck big time too, man they are not only ugly, but also work directly against the principle that the hot air will be always rising up, so they mostly heat up your ceiling space.
Best strategy: introduce electrical floor heating, plus insulate your bathroom well both inside and outside, you already have some thermal mass brought by your tiles.
Heated floor will provide the comfort of the warm floor, plus hot air will be rising all the way up, so it will consistently heating your walls, etc. Your tiles' thermal mass will be storing up the warmth and your insulation will be preventing it from spreading it to the other rooms.
In the result, you just turn up your electrical heating for couple hours a day (before you wake up) and then your bathroom remains warm and cosy for the rest of the day.

We have zoned heating as well. Best thing ever. You can heat the areas you want.

It’s actually one of the most inefficient ways to heat a house, alexp79 is spot on with underfloor radiant heat.
Zoned heating works great for us. Only two people in this house so we heat the areas we need coupled with spending $$ on making sure we put good insulation in roof and walls also the heating is on a temperature timer and finding that we don't hardly need to run the heating as the house holds the warmth really well. No point heating areas we don't use. Well that is my experience so far.

Why is that gillybean?

Is the floor heating on a timer so as to turn on before waking up?
