Wet Room Installation
From £4,500 fully fitted
A wet room turns the whole bathroom into a fully waterproofed, step-free space. It's the most future-proof adaptation we fit — ideal where mobility needs are likely to change, or for households who simply prefer the open, spa-like look.
What a proper wet room actually involves
A wet room isn't just a tiled bathroom with a drain in the floor. The entire floor and the lower section of every wall is sealed with a liquid waterproof membrane before a single tile goes on. The floor is gently graded — usually 1:80 — to fall to a linear drain.
Skipping any of these steps is what causes the wet-room horror stories. We've ripped out enough botched installs to know that getting the substrate right takes a day on its own, but it's what separates a 20-year wet room from a five-year one.
Designed for disabled and elderly users
Most of our wet rooms are fitted for households with long-term mobility needs. That shapes the layout — wider clear floor space, a fold-down seat positioned for safe transfer, grab rails at the right reach, and a thermostatic shower with lever controls. We can also fit a high-rise toilet and a wash-dry unit where the OT has recommended one.
Council and grant-funded installations
Wet rooms are the most common solution funded under Scotland's Scheme of Assistance and similar council grants. We'll provide a quote in the format the council asks for, matched line-by-line to the OT specification, ready for the grants officer.

Frequently asked questions
Can a wet room be fitted upstairs?▾
Yes — over 70% of the wet rooms we install are on upstairs bathrooms. The waterproof membrane and graded floor mean leaks are not a concern when the install is done properly.
Will it work with my existing tiles and decor?▾
No — a wet room is a full strip-out and rebuild. You choose new tiles or wet-floor vinyl as part of the design stage.
How long does a full wet room take?▾
Typically seven to ten working days, depending on tiling and any electrical relocation.
Is a wet room covered by a disability grant?▾
Almost always, where it's recommended by an occupational therapist. In Scotland the Scheme of Assistance covers 80% of the essential cost, or 100% on qualifying benefits.
