Wet Room Installation

Modern walk-in wet rooms, planned around drainage, waterproofing and the way you use the space.

Why choose a wet room

A wet room gives you a clean, open look and a practical way to shower: no enclosure frame to clean and no tray to step over.

  • Easy to clean, with fewer joints and edges
  • Step-free access, which helps with accessibility and mobility needs
  • Makes a small bathroom or en-suite feel larger
  • Suits new builds, extensions and conversions of existing bathrooms

Done properly, a wet room is durable and low maintenance. Done badly, it can cause serious water damage within a short time, so the planning matters.

What the plumbing involves

We provide the full plumbing fit-out for wet rooms in existing bathrooms, new builds and extensions, working with your designer, tiler or builder.

  • Floor drain and waste, positioned with your tiler and set to the right fall
  • Hot and cold supply pipework, installed and pressure-tested before the walls are tiled
  • Shower valve connection and commissioning once tiling and waterproofing are done

Drainage options

The drain position sets the fall across the whole floor, so we agree it with you and your tiler before the floor is prepared.

  • Linear (channel) drains, which sit along a wall or across the floor
  • Circular and square floor drains, the traditional choice
  • A waste run laid to the correct fall to the soil stack or waste pipe

Showering options

We connect and commission the shower valve once tiling and waterproofing are complete.

  • Thermostatic bar valves
  • Concealed valves, with the valve body inside the wall
  • Digital shower systems
  • Fixed overhead and handheld heads from one valve

Our Showers page covers valves, enclosures and pumps in more detail.

The floor

A wet room floor must fall to the drain, using either a gradient screed or a purpose-made wet room former. A concrete ground floor is straightforward. A suspended timber floor needs more planning: the structure may need strengthening and the drain connection is made below the joists.

We assess the floor at the survey and work with whoever is preparing it.

Working with your team

We work alongside bathroom designers, tiling contractors and builders so every stage fits together.

  • First fix

    Drain and supply pipework before the floor is finished and the walls are tiled

  • Waterproofing and tiling by your tiler or builder

  • Second fix

    Shower valve, brassware and final commissioning

Underfloor heating

A warm floor suits a wet room. We can fit electric underfloor heating under the tiles as part of the project.

Common questions

Still have a question?

Call us or send a few details and we will come back to you.

Can a wet room go on a timber floor?

Yes, but a suspended timber floor needs more planning. The structure may need strengthening and the drain connection is made below the joists. We assess the floor at the survey.

Do you do the tiling and waterproofing?

We provide the plumbing fit-out and work alongside your tiler, builder or designer, who look after the waterproofing and tiling.

Which type of drain is best?

It depends on the shape and layout of the room. We agree the drain position and type with you and your tiler.

Can I have a wet room in an existing bathroom?

Yes. We work on wet rooms in existing bathrooms as well as in new builds and extensions.
