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

Wet Room for Wotton-under-Edge Properties: Key Information
Wet rooms in Wotton-under-Edge are increasingly specified as the primary bathroom, not just a luxury addition. Families appreciate the easy cleaning, elderly residents value the level access, and everyone enjoys the open, spacious feeling. We design wet rooms that serve as the main household bathroom — practical and beautiful enough for daily use by everyone.
The drainage system in a Gloucestershire wet room needs to handle peak shower flow without any standing water. In Wotton-under-Edge installations, we use high-capacity linear drains rated at 40+ litres per minute, set flush with the finished tile surface. The drain position determines the floor gradient direction — we plan this first, before any other design decisions.
Tucked beneath the Cotswold Edge, Wotton-under-Edge has a wonderful variety of period and modern homes where quality bathroom fitting makes a real difference.
Wotton-under-Edge has stone terraces climbing the Cotswold escarpment, with larger Victorian properties and newer estates on flatter ground.
Hillside properties in Wotton-under-Edge can have split-level floors that complicate bathroom drainage routing between levels.
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 Wotton-under-Edge Properties
Wet room construction in Gloucestershire timber-framed properties requires specific floor treatment. In Wotton-under-Edge 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 Wotton-under-Edge 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 Wotton-under-Edge, we recommend R11 for elderly residents or families with young children — it provides noticeably more grip on a fully wet floor.
If your Wotton-under-Edge 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 Wotton-under-Edge wet room installation — it takes 30 seconds and makes a real difference.

Common Wet Room Mistakes to Avoid in Wotton-under-Edge
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 Wotton-under-Edge 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 Wotton-under-Edge shower area will sag and fail.

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