Professional Wet Room in Watermoor
Fully tanked wet room installation — the entire floor is waterproofed and drained, creating a seamless, open shower space. Serving Watermoor and surrounding areas.
Is a Wet Room Right for Your Watermoor Home?
Getting Ventilation Right
Without the containment of a shower enclosure, moisture spreads further in a wet room. Watermoor 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 Watermoor timber-floor properties, this means installing a gradient former on top of the joists — it's specialist work, not a general tiling job.

Why Watermoor 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 Watermoor 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 Watermoor 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.
Close to Cirencester town centre, Watermoor's period cottages and terraced houses are ideal for bathroom renovations that blend modern convenience with character.
Watermoor is one of Cirencester's older residential areas with Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis, and a mix of housing styles.
Watermoor's older properties often have bathrooms that were converted from former bedrooms, sometimes with compromised drainage solutions.
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 Watermoor Properties
Wet room construction in Gloucestershire timber-framed properties requires specific floor treatment. In Watermoor 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 Watermoor 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 Watermoor, we recommend R11 for elderly residents or families with young children — it provides noticeably more grip on a fully wet floor.
If your Watermoor 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 Watermoor wet room installation — it takes 30 seconds and makes a real difference.

Common Wet Room Mistakes to Avoid in Watermoor
Choosing a rainfall shower head without checking water pressure. In many Watermoor homes, the flow rate simply can't support a large-diameter head — the result is a disappointing trickle instead of a downpour.
Fitting an electric shower on an inadequate circuit. Electric showers in Watermoor need a dedicated circuit from the consumer unit with the correct cable size — piggy-backing off an existing circuit is dangerous and illegal.
Installing a shower tray without checking it's level. An unlevel tray in a Watermoor bathroom means water pools in one corner instead of draining, creating a hygiene issue and accelerating seal failure.

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