Lee - he’s a top guy who knows his stuff. Problem was diagnosed quickly and resolved immediately - no fuss! Price was fair. Would recommend without hesitation.
David
Shah was so reliable, experienced and polite. He made suggestions that helped us without pressuring us into anything or imposing on us. The work was all carried out as agreed quickly and he worked long days to get it all done. The changes we made were added onto our bill at the end and were far lower than I had been expecting. We’ll definitely have Shah back for the next phase of our renovation when we’re ready!

Local wet room installation
Cost of wet room installation
The cost of a wet room installation depends on several factors, including the size of the room, materials used, and the complexity of the design. On average, the cost ranges from £5,000 to £10,000 for a professionally installed wet room. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the costs:
- Preparation and Waterproofing: Proper waterproofing is essential for any wet room. Tanking the space (applying a waterproof membrane) can cost between £1,000 and £2,000, depending on the size of the room.
- Tiling: Floor and wall tiles are key to the look and function of a wet room. Depending on your choice of tiles, costs can range from £25 to £100 per square metre, plus charges for a tiler to install it.
- Plumbing: You will need a plumber to install drainage, pipework, and fixtures, which can add £1,000 to £3,000, depending on the complexity of the project.
- Additional Features: Custom features such as underfloor heating, high-end fittings, or luxury finishes will increase the overall cost.
Advantages and disadvantages of a wet room
Advantages:
- Space-Saving: Wet rooms create an open, spacious feel by eliminating the need for a shower cubicle or bath.
- Easy to Clean: With fewer fixtures and no shower enclosure, wet rooms are easier to clean and maintain.
- Accessibility: Wet rooms are ideal for those with mobility issues as they offer barrier-free access to the shower area.
Disadvantages:
- Cost: Wet room installations can be more expensive than standard bathrooms due to the need for waterproofing and specialist installation.
- Water Control: Poor design can lead to water pooling outside the shower area, so proper drainage and sloping are crucial.
How long does it take to install a wet room?
A standard wet room installation typically takes between 7 to 10 days, depending on the complexity of the project. The timeline includes preparation work like waterproofing, tiling, plumbing, and installing fixtures. Larger or more intricate designs may require additional time for completion.
Other wet room FAQs
Do I need planning permission for a wet room?
Planning permission is not usually required unless you are making structural changes or altering the drainage system in listed buildings or conservation areas.
Does a wet room need to be on the ground floor?
No, wet rooms can be installed on any floor, as long as proper waterproofing and drainage systems are in place to prevent leaks.
Do wet rooms get mouldy?
If properly waterproofed and ventilated, wet rooms should not have issues with mould.

Bit of difficulty getting messages answered, but arrived early on the agreed date, which was fine. Completed the task quickly and effectively. The company's terms request payment once the quote is accepted. I pay once the job is completed (unless it's a large job, requiring a deposit, for example.) He asked for cash and I said I preferred bank transfer. He started showing me messages on his phone from people who had paid cash in advance. I said I am not them and I would transfer the money this afternoon.
I started my company in 2015 after already gaining 12 years experience and it’s growing at a nice steady pace. I am a very motivated driven and hard working individual.

I thrive when working under pressure and believe that is when you see an individuals true character, furthermore I'm capable of working both alone and as part of a team and I am keen to learn new things and take each day as an opportunity to learn something new. I've been extremely well trained by my prior companies and do not shy away from challenges thrown at me I am ready and willing to surpass all expectations and go above and beyond to ensure the job is done to a high standard.
David was great from start to finish. Very professional and was able to overcome some major obstacles left behind by previous workmen. No issue too big to sort. 10 out of 10 and would definitely recommend
Hi! I'm Cus Alexandru, I work as a painter/decorator around 5 year , but the last 2 years I've been worked here in UK .Regarding the work I do , I can say that I am a punctual worker , and I always try to get the best results on what I'm working. Because I have only lived in the UK for 2 years, I don't know how to speak English fluently, but I understand and write at an average level.
Fantastic experience with Alexandru. Answered promptly and came by the next day to complete the work - all to an extremely high standard, and left the place spotless. Highly recommended

Half the laminate was laid, but I noticed the pattern joins didn't match up. They were unsatisfactory and I pointed them out. The tradesman was happy to lay the laminate again. This time it was done well. I'm now delighted with the overall appearance of my floor, although there are still some small areas, especially by the skirting, where the laminate hasn't been secured by the trimming. Apart from these small things, the service was friendly and the job was finished on time. I would use them again.
