Fully tanked wet room installation — the entire floor is waterproofed and drained, creating a seamless, open shower space. Serving Gloucestershire and surrounding areas.
Is a Wet Room Right for Your Gloucestershire Home?
It's Not Just a Shower Without a Tray
A true wet room in Gloucestershire means the entire floor (and sometimes walls) are fully tanked with waterproof membrane. Skip this step and you'll have water damage within 2 years.
Getting Ventilation Right
Without the containment of a shower enclosure, moisture spreads further in a wet room. Gloucestershire bathrooms need adequate extraction — typically a 100mm fan on a humidity sensor, vented externally.

Understanding Wet Room for Gloucestershire Homes
Wet rooms are the fastest-growing bathroom format we install across Gloucestershire — from accessible ground-floor conversions in Cheltenham and Gloucester to luxury master ensuites in Cirencester and the Cotswolds. Every wet room we fit is fully tanked to BS 8000-4, has a properly designed fall to a linear drain, and is signed off with photographs of every waterproofing layer before tiles go down. We cover the whole county from a single Gloucester base.
- Suspended timber floors in Victorian and Edwardian properties across Gloucester, Cheltenham and Stroud need a structural assessment before tanking — we strengthen joists where deflection would crack the waterproof layer.
- Ground-floor concrete slabs in 1960s-1980s estates around Quedgeley, Hardwicke and Bishops Cleeve are ideal for wet-room conversions because we can recess the drain without losing ceiling height below.
- Hard water across most of Gloucestershire will scale a linear drain — we fit removable grates as standard and brief you on the monthly 60-second clean.
- Cotswold-stone conservation properties around Painswick and Northleach need sympathetic external soil-pipe routing; we plan this into the design rather than retrofitting it.
- We're experienced with grant-funded accessible wet rooms via Gloucestershire County Council's Disabled Facilities Grant and can work to OT specifications.
Temperature comfort in a Gloucestershire wet room depends on heating the entire floor, not just the area around the drain. We install underfloor heating across the full floor area, including under the shower zone, so the room dries quickly after use and feels warm underfoot at any time of day. This combination of wet room and UFH is our standard recommendation.
A wet room in Gloucestershire is the ultimate in shower luxury — but it's a specialist installation, not a standard tiling job. The entire floor needs tanking with waterproof membrane, a precise gradient to the drain, and anti-slip tiling. We've fitted wet rooms on timber floors, concrete floors, and in loft conversions across the area.
From the Cotswold hills to the Severn Vale and the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire's diverse landscape and housing stock requires bathroom fitters with broad experience and local knowledge.
many older Gloucestershire homes have solid stone or brick walls (no cavity), which means fixing bathroom fittings requires different techniques — heavy-duty masonry anchors and careful drilling to avoid cracking stone. properties in the Severn floodplain areas around Tewkesbury and Gloucester should consider ground-floor bathroom resilience — easily removable lower panels and raised electrical sockets are practical precautions. That's why choosing an experienced, local wet room specialist in Gloucestershire matters.
Wet Room Considerations for Gloucestershire Properties
Drainage design in Gloucestershire wet rooms must handle the full shower output while allowing for safe walking. Linear drains along one wall are popular in Gloucestershire installations because they simplify the floor gradient (one-way fall instead of four-way) and create a clean architectural line.
Heating a wet room in Gloucestershire is more important than in a standard bathroom because the entire floor gets wet. Underfloor heating dries the floor faster, prevents the cold, damp feeling that wet rooms can have, and reduces the risk of mould. We include UFH as a standard recommendation in all our wet room installations.
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 Gloucestershire wet room installation — it takes 30 seconds and makes a real difference.
Wet room doors should open outward or be sliding — an inward-opening door can be blocked by water pooling behind it, and the constant water contact deteriorates the door bottom faster.
Anti-slip tiles in Gloucestershire wet rooms should be tested to at least R10 rating. In Gloucestershire, we recommend R11 for elderly residents or families with young children — it provides noticeably more grip on a fully wet floor.

Wet Room in Gloucestershire: Common Questions
How long does a wet room installation take in Gloucestershire?
A standard wet room conversion from strip-out to first shower is typically 10-14 working days. Larger luxury wet rooms with bespoke tiling or steam units run 3-4 weeks. We give you a fixed timeline before we start.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
Yes — Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester, Tewkesbury, the Forest of Dean and the Cotswold villages are all within our standard service area from our Gloucester base.
Will my wet room be guaranteed against leaks?
Yes — our tanking and waterproofing carries a written workmanship guarantee, and we photograph every layer (primer, tanking membrane, joint tape, second coat) before tiling so you have a full record.

Common Wet Room Mistakes to Avoid in Gloucestershire
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 Gloucestershire shower area will sag and fail.
Skipping the waterproofing step entirely. We've seen Gloucestershire showers where tiles were stuck directly to plasterboard with no membrane — the board was rotten within two years.
Choosing a rainfall shower head without checking water pressure. In many Gloucestershire homes, the flow rate simply can't support a large-diameter head — the result is a disappointing trickle instead of a downpour.

Common Questions About Wet Room in Gloucestershire
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 Gloucestershire 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 Gloucestershire, mainly due to the tanking and gradient work. But you save on the cost of a shower tray and enclosure.
