Wet Rooms
A wet room is a bathroom where the shower area is part of the floor. The floor is built with a fall to a drain, sealed so water cannot get through, and tiled as one surface.
Wet Rooms, done the way the photos show.
Wet rooms suit small rooms, where a tray and screen would get in the way, and anyone who wants to walk straight into the shower without a step.
The important part is what you cannot see afterwards: the floor former, the tanking and the drain. We build this properly so the room stays dry for years, then tile over it so the floor reads as one space.
A fixed glass panel can still be added to keep splashes off the rest of the room, and the same tiles, niches and brassware choices apply as with a walk-in shower.
Choices to talk through
- Open wet room or a fixed glass panel
- Linear drain along the wall or a central gully
- Mosaic, hexagon or large format floor tiles
- Underfloor heating, where the floor is being rebuilt
- Grab rails and a fold down seat, if useful

Things people ask about wet rooms.
Will a wet room make the rest of the bathroom wet?
Not if the falls are right and a screen is used where needed. We plan the drain and the slope so water goes where it should.
Can a wet room go upstairs on a timber floor?
Usually yes, with the right floor former and tanking. The site visit is where we check the joists and the drain route.
Is a wet room better for someone with limited mobility?
A level floor removes the step, which many people find easier. Tell us what would help and we will plan around it.
Tell Sat about your wet room.
A photo of the room as it is now and a rough idea of what you want is enough to start.
Thinking about a new walk-in shower?
Tell Sat what you have in mind. A site visit around Bracknell and the surrounding towns is never far away.
