Wet rooms in Wythall

Before your wet room in Wythall

This kind of work rarely needs planning permission, but it does have to comply with Building Regulations, and some parts must be certified by a registered installer or signed off by building control. In Wythall, building control is provided by Bromsgrove District Council or a registered building control approver (formerly an approved inspector).

Disabled Facilities Grants of up to £30,000 are available in England, subject to a means test and council approval.
Extract fans in a bathroom without an openable window should run on for around 15 minutes after use.
Fixing backing boards behind the tiles now makes adding grab rails later much easier.

Choices to weigh up in Wythall

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.

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 Wythall do you work in?

We cover B47 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Wythall, neighbouring Kings Heath and Kings Norton are covered too.

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.

Who approves wet rooms in Wythall?

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