Professional Wet Room in The Cotswolds
Fully tanked wet room installation — the entire floor is waterproofed and drained, creating a seamless, open shower space. Serving The Cotswolds and surrounding areas.
Is a Wet Room Right for Your The Cotswolds Home?
Getting Ventilation Right
Without the containment of a shower enclosure, moisture spreads further in a wet room. The Cotswolds bathrooms need adequate extraction — typically a 100mm fan on a humidity sensor, vented externally.
Floor Structure Matters
Wet rooms need a sloped floor to the drain. In The Cotswolds timber-floor properties, this means installing a gradient former on top of the joists — it's specialist work, not a general tiling job.

Why The Cotswolds Homeowners Choose Professional Wet Room
Wet rooms are increasingly popular in Gloucestershire, but they're only as good as the waterproofing. We've been called to fix wet rooms in The Cotswolds where water was seeping through the ceiling below because the tanking wasn't done properly. We use two-coat membrane systems with taped joints at every junction — because one chance to get it right is all you get.
Converting a standard bathroom into a wet room in The Cotswolds requires tanking every surface — not just the shower area, but the entire floor and lower walls. The floor gradient must be precise (typically 1:80 fall to the drain), and on timber floors, we use pre-formed gradient boards to ensure consistent drainage across the whole surface.
The Cotswolds' iconic honey-coloured stone properties deserve bathroom installations crafted with the same attention to detail as the buildings themselves.
the Severn Vale gets damp winters with heavy rainfall. Bathrooms need good ventilation and proper waterproofing — condensation on cold stone walls is a particular issue in older properties. water is moderately hard in most of Gloucestershire (150-250 mg/l calcium carbonate). Limescale builds up on shower heads, taps, and heating elements — thermostatic valves and easy-clean coated shower glass help manage this.
Wet Room Considerations for The Cotswolds Properties
Wet room construction in Gloucestershire timber-framed properties requires specific floor treatment. In The Cotswolds homes with joisted floors, we install marine-grade plywood over the joists, then pre-formed gradient boards to create the drainage fall. This structural approach prevents the flexing that cracks membrane joints and causes leaks.
The entire floor and lower walls of a The Cotswolds wet room receive tanking membrane — typically a two-coat liquid system with reinforcement tape at all junctions. We apply this to manufacturer specifications and document the process, because if there's ever a warranty issue, proper application records matter.
Anti-slip tiles in Gloucestershire wet rooms should be tested to at least R10 rating. In The Cotswolds, we recommend R11 for elderly residents or families with young children — it provides noticeably more grip on a fully wet floor.
If your The Cotswolds wet room is above another room, insist on a secondary membrane beneath the structural floor as well as the primary tanking on top. Belt-and-braces waterproofing is the only sensible approach when there's a living space below.
Regular squeegee use after showering extends the life of your Gloucestershire wet room and prevents soap scum buildup on tiles. We provide a stainless steel squeegee with every The Cotswolds wet room installation — it takes 30 seconds and makes a real difference.

Common Wet Room Mistakes to Avoid in The Cotswolds
Not considering door swing and access. In compact Gloucestershire bathrooms, a shower enclosure door that clashes with the bathroom door or toilet is more common than you'd think in The Cotswolds installations.
Using silicone where grout should be, or grout where silicone should be. In Gloucestershire bathrooms, movement joints (where walls meet floors, or where different materials meet) need flexible silicone, not rigid grout.
Using standard plasterboard in wet zones. In Gloucestershire shower installations, moisture-resistant board (green or blue board) or tile backer board must be used. Standard plasterboard in a The Cotswolds shower area will sag and fail.

Common Questions About Wet Room in The Cotswolds
Can you install a wet room on a timber floor?
Yes, but the floor needs reinforcing and a proper gradient former. We do this regularly in The Cotswolds period properties. The key is getting the substrate right before any tiling.
Is the whole bathroom floor always wet?
No — the floor slopes gently towards the drain so water drains away within minutes. We also position a glass panel to contain most splash. The rest of the floor stays dry in normal use.
How much more does a wet room cost vs a shower enclosure?
Typically £1,500-£2,500 more than a standard shower installation in The Cotswolds, mainly due to the tanking and gradient work. But you save on the cost of a shower tray and enclosure.
