Wet Rooms

The primary difference for accessibility is the floor and drainage system:

• Wet Room (Superior Accessibility): A true wet room has a completely open, level floor that is fully waterproofed (tanked) from wall to wall. There is no shower tray whatsoever; the water drains directly through a bespoke floor drain. This offers seamless, zero-threshold access ideal for wheelchair users or those requiring complex walking aids.

• Walk-In Shower: A walk-in shower typically uses a low-level tray (a small lip, usually 25mm to 40mm high) and is enclosed by screens. While very safe, the low lip still requires a small step over.

For maximum, unhindered access and a spacious, open-plan design, a fully waterproofed wet room is the safest and most accessible long-term solution.

The final price of a professionally installed, adapted wet room in the UK varies widely. The cost depends heavily on:

Room Size: Larger rooms require more waterproofing and tiling.

Adaptation Level: Features like underfloor heating, specialist drainage, or a comfort-height toilet add to the cost.

Materials & Design: The choice of tile colour, quality of fittings, and other chosen accessories.

Yes, absolutely. Wet rooms are an excellent solution for small bathrooms because the elimination of the shower tray and screen creates the illusion of more space and maximises every inch.

We routinely install wet rooms on upstairs floors in UK properties. Our expert installation process includes professional-grade waterproofing (tanking) and floor reinforcement to ensure the wet room is completely watertight and structurally sound, giving you a leak-free assurance.

Our bespoke wet rooms are designed with safety as the core priority. Essential features include:

• Level Access: Zero-step entry throughout the entire bathroom floor.

• Anti-Slip Flooring: We use specialised non-slip vinyl or safety-rated tiles with a high slip-resistance rating.

• Integrated Support: Strategically positioned grab rails near the showering area and toilet for stability.

• Seating Options: High-quality, fold-down shower seats or fixed benches for comfortable and safe showering while seated.

• Thermostatic Controls: Precision temperature controls to prevent scalding.
