Wet rooms, that is, totally waterproofed bathrooms with a same-level shower area, provide fantastic accessibility to washing facilities that may be difficult for those with limited mobility. Traditionally a room installed into the home for future-proofing purposes, homeowners around the UK are now turning to such spaces for ease of access and freedom within a wash room. With water drained away through a flush drain and everything sealed in with a waterproof membrane, wet rooms prove less risk than conventional bathrooms in ever ‘springing a leak’; particularly in older, terraced homes.
Some homeowners choose to install a wet room in addition to their family bathroom, and others instead of: and whichever you’re choosing to do in your West London home, Refresh Renovations can help.

What are the trends in Wet Rooms at the moment?

Wet rooms are growing in popularity as homeowners embrace them not just for future-proofing and access purposes, but also an easy-to-clean family bathroom that can be used as easily by children as older people. We’ve seen an increase in demand for wet rooms but also for those including bespoke storage solutions, split-layouts to include dry areas (for clothes and towels) and spa-style benches for drying.

How much does a Wet Room cost to install?

The cost of a wet room installation depends on the scope of the job at hand; as existing bathrooms can often be converted to wet rooms much easier and cheaper than a room that doesn’t have existing plumbing infrastructure. The most expensive and often underestimated cost is that of the sealant; ensuring that the room is entirely protected and no moisture leaves other than through the designated drain/s.
