Which option fits your home?

Level-access walk-in shower

Instead of falling across the whole room, a sloped former is set flush into the floor only in the shower area, with the rest of the floor flat. It gives step-free access at a slightly lower cost. The surrounding floor and walls are still waterproofed, because water rarely stays exactly where it's meant to.

Full wet room

The entire floor is tanked and falls gently to a single drain, often a linear channel near the wall. It's the most open, step-free layout and the easiest to clean. A fixed glass screen keeps spray off the toilet and basin, and the floor tiles need good slip resistance when wet.

What does your wet room cost in Bedworth?

Expect to budget between £5,000 and £15,000 depending on size and specification in Bedworth. Converting a 2 m × 2.5 m bathroom into a fully tanked wet room with a level-access floor: typically £6,800–£9,000.

Are wet room floors slippery?

They don't have to be. We use floor tiles with a slip-resistance rating suited to wet barefoot areas, and smaller tiles in the shower zone give more grout lines for grip and follow the falls better. A fixed screen keeps most spray in the shower area. Grab rails and a seat add security for anyone unsteady on their feet.

Does Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council need to approve my wet room?

You won't usually need planning permission, but the work must meet Building Regulations. Building control in Bedworth is provided by Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council or a registered building control approver, and some work is self-certified by registered installers.
