Average Cost Of Installing A Wet Room

Shower Room Installation Cost


Tiling floors can increase the value of your home, especially if they are used in the right rooms such as the bathroom or kitchen. Tiled floors are more durable and luxurious than carpets, and they are easier to clean up if you spill anything on them. Tiled floors have the disadvantage of being cold, especially if they are not paired with underfloor heating. They can also be slippery when wet. Tiles may not be the best option if you have a large space. This is especially true if your children love to run and could slip on them.

You can convert any size bathroom into a wet area. However, if you have a smaller bathroom, it is important to protect your towels, toiletries, and toilet paper from being sprayed. We recommend that you install a divider panel in a small bathroom. If you want to provide greater protection but still have the convenience of a wet area, then our large sliding shower doors are a good compromise.

Whilst work is being done turning your bathroom into a wet room, you will need a place to shower, go to the toilet and do everything else you normally do in the bathroom. It’s a good idea to understand and plan for all sorts of issues as you prepare for a week or two of work. The installation of a wet room can take anywhere from 4 days to two weeks – this again depends on the size of the wetroom and the additional features you wish to implement.

It is important to think about the purpose of your bathroom design. Spotlights are a great way to give your bathroom a stylish, functional look. You can place them in certain areas to provide light around your shower or mirror. There are many options available for those who want something unique. For any type of wet area, underfloor heating is an excellent choice. Underfloor heating can be a great option if space is limited. You can extend your existing radiators to add an underfloor heating circuit. You can also install heated towel rails or additional radiators if you have a larger wet area.

In the past wet rooms were only suitable for bathrooms on the ground floor with concrete floors. However, modern converting techniques have allowed any bathroom to be converted into a wet space with the addition of a waterproof subfloor. As mistakes in drainage and waterproofing can be very costly, we recommend that professionals handle the installation of wet rooms. Every wet room design must be considered in terms of safety, cost, and structural considerations.
