Hi, im trying to fit spot lights in a bathroom.. the main is currently out of a wall with a small amount of cable on it, can I use block connector with black tape and sink it so I can extend the wire to run further from the bath? If not can I use an ip65 rated jb sitting about 170mm away from the bath and 2.25m high from the floor?

NO! you cannot make a connection like that and hide it in the wall.
I guess you have access to the loft above?
Go there and find the cable. Make the joint up there.

PS when you say
the main is currently out of a wall
What do you mean? is this a permanent live, or is it the switched live and neutral from a previous light fitting?
 
This is the main permenant live and its only about 4inches worth of wire to play with. Was told I can use a waterproof junction box?
