The entire floor and the shower walls are tanked and tiled so water falls, gathers and drains without any barrier. ### Who it's for Homeowners across Bexley, Bromley, Dartford and Kent who want a level-access, hotel-style shower experience, or who need genuine accessibility without institutional aesthetics. ### When you need it Choose a wet room when you want a level-access shower for aesthetic or mobility reasons, when your bathroom is small and a wet room maximises usable space, or when you have an en-suite that suits the format. ### Why professional matters Wet rooms are the single most technically demanding bathroom format. Done well, they last 15+ years and add real property value. Done badly, they leak into the ceiling below within two winters. There's no middle ground. What Happens If You Wait ## The cost of doing nothing — or doing it cheaply. Wet rooms fail for one reason, and one reason only: shortcuts on waterproofing. The other 40 details matter, but that's the one that ends up on your ceiling downstairs. ### Risks & consequences - Skipped or under-lapped tanking membrane — water finds every seam and rots the joists below. - Wrong fall angle in the shower area — water pools, mould grows, drainage is slow. - Under-sized or misaligned drainage — the room can't cope with a decent flow rate. - Tile adhesive and grout unsuitable for constant wet exposure — grout blows out, tiles drum, and the room ages years in months. ### Common mistakes homeowners make - Using standard bathroom finishes and hoping — wet rooms need wet-room-rated products end to end. - Skipping the second tanking coat because "one should be enough" — it never is. - Cheap linear drains that fail their gasket within three years. Our Process ## Five steps. Fixed dates. Fixed prices. - 01 ### Survey & Feasibility We check joist direction and depth, existing floor make-up, and drainage runs. Not every room is a viable wet room and we'll tell you honestly at survey. - 02 ### Design & Fixed Quote Layout, drain position, tile spec and fixture list. Itemised written quote. Written variation process. - 03 ### Strip-Out & Structural Prep Existing floor and walls stripped. Where a formed slope isn't possible from existing timbers, a pre-formed sloped tray is cut in to guarantee falls. - 04 ### Tanking & First Fix Bonded liquid membrane applied in two coats, taken up walls and lapped into the drain. Plumbing and electrics installed and tested. - 05 ### Tile, Snag & Handover Tiles cut and laid with maintained falls. Flow-rate tested at handover — no puddling, no ponding, no draining sounds. Room signed off only when it passes. Why It's Worth Doing Right ## Specific, measurable benefits. ### Zero-threshold access Step-free entry to the shower — clean-looking, accessible, and easier to keep spotless. ### Long-life waterproofing Two-coat bonded tanking system used through the wet zone, tested and signed off. ### Precision falls and drainage Falls set for guaranteed flow to drain. Linear drains where the aesthetic calls for it, point drains where they work better. ### Property value uplift A properly-executed wet room is a visible premium feature in any Kent property. ### Fixed written quote You know the number before day one — including tanking spec, tile allowance and drainage. ### Workmanship guarantee The most fault-sensitive room in the house, backed by a workmanship guarantee. The Detail ## What actually goes into the work. Wet rooms reward patience and punish shortcuts. Here's the honest detail on how ours are built. ### Substrate and structural falls On timber floors, we form the fall using a pre-formed sloped tray that guarantees geometry — never a trowelled screed on flexing timber. On solid floors, falls are formed in screed with a laser-checked gradient into the drain. ### Tanking specification We use a bonded liquid membrane applied in two coats with a reinforcing mesh at internal corners and around the drain flange. Lap heights meet or exceed manufacturer minimums. Every layer is signed off before the next covers it. ### Drainage and flow rate Linear drains are set flush with tile, sized against your shower's flow rate. Gaskets meet the drain-manufacturer spec. Access for future cleaning is designed in — no unbroken tile over an inaccessible trap. ### Tile choice and slip rating Wet-room floors need R10 minimum slip rating (R11 in genuine wet-zone areas). We'll steer you clear of any tile that photographs beautifully but turns lethal wet — and towards ones that photograph beautifully and don't. ### Screens, glass and shower fixtures 10mm toughened glass screens set into channel or with brace bars where required. Concealed-body thermostatic shower valves plumbed to allow future service without breaking tiles. ### Extraction and lighting Correctly-sized mechanical extraction ducted to outside — critical in a room without a shower tray to contain steam. IP-rated LED downlighters in wet zones. Everything to Part P. Recent Work ## Wet Room Installation — projects we've completed.
