But the OP's other question makes it clear that it is in a bathroom and so illegal for an unqualified person to work on in the UK.

Previous reply does not help - I agree if you don't know what you are doing get a qualified electritian in but if you understand this then go for it.

3 reds together, two blacks together and include neutral for light. red taped wire to live for light and thats it.

You have wired it into the 'loop-in' circuit rather than the switched one. As you have managed to do this it suggest that you do not really understand electrical wiring. I suggest that you get an electrician to sort it out quickly as there is no telling what else you may have done.
