What Makes a Wet Room Different

There is no tray and no step. The floor itself is the shower area, waterproofed underneath and tiled over. It makes a small room feel bigger, is easier to clean and lets anyone walk straight in without lifting a foot over anything.

More Information

Tanking and Waterproofing

The floor and lower walls are sealed with a waterproof membrane before tiling. Corners, the drain and pipe entries get extra attention because that is where water finds a way out. Skip this and the leak shows up in the ceiling below.

Drainage and Floor Falls

The floor is built with a gentle slope towards the drain so water runs away instead of spreading across the room. Timber floors usually need the joists notching or a former fitting. Getting the fall right is the part that decides whether a wet room works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can any bathroom in Chatham be turned into a wet room?

Most can. The deciding factor is the floor. Concrete floors are straightforward. Timber floors need the joists checked so the drain and fall can be built in. Very small rooms may need a screen to keep spray off the toilet. We check before quoting.

Will a wet room leak into the room below?

Not when it is tanked properly. The membrane under the tiles is what stops water, not the grout. Leaks come from skipped or rushed waterproofing at the drain and corners. We tank the floor and lower walls fully and guarantee the work.

How long does a wet room take to install?

Usually around one to two weeks. Building the floor fall and tanking takes longer than a standard bathroom, and the membrane needs curing time before tiling starts. Rushing that part is what causes problems later, so it is not a job to squeeze.
