A wet room's whole floor and the walls around the shower are covered with a waterproof membrane before tiling.
Starting work before the council approves a Disabled Facilities Grant can mean losing the grant entirely.
Upstairs wet rooms on timber floors usually need structural plywood and a preformed former set between the joists.

Options to consider in Codsall

Ground floor on concrete

The existing screed is cut out where the shower sits so the former can be recessed level with the floor, and the waste is connected below the slab. It's dustier work but very solid once complete. Older concrete floors without a damp-proof membrane need extra care before tanking.

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.

Your questions answered

How long does it take to build a wet room?

Most take 8–14 working days. Floor preparation and tanking take longer than in a standard bathroom, and the membrane needs time to cure before tiling. Timber floors upstairs often need new plywood and joist work first. If it's your only bathroom, we'll plan the toilet to be usable at night for as much of the job as possible.

Which postcodes in Codsall do you work in?

We cover WV8 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Codsall, neighbouring Perton and Tettenhall are covered too.
