1️⃣ Understand What a Wet Room Really Is

A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the shower area is level with the rest of the floor. There's no tray or enclosure – just a clean, open-plan design.
✅ Ideal for modern homes and customers needing step-free access.

🔑 Why it matters: Local customers often search “wet room Cheltenham” without realising it needs full tanking and drainage upgrades.

2️⃣ Check for Proper Waterproofing (Tanking)

The most important part of any wet room is hidden – the tanking system. This ensures water doesn’t seep into walls or floors, which could cause major damage in homes around Cheltenham’s older housing stock.

✅ Make sure your fitter includes tanking, sealing, and high-quality tiling in your quote.

📍 Local Tip: Homes with suspended timber floors (common in Cheltenham) need extra care for drainage and water resistance.

3️⃣ Choose the Right Flooring

Flooring in a wet room must be:

• Non-slip
• Easy to clean
• Resistant to long-term moisture

Popular options:

• Anti-slip vinyl
• Textured porcelain tiles
• Resin floors

🎯 Pro tip: If you're looking for a disabled bathroom installation, flooring is a key safety feature.

4️⃣ Consider Underfloor Heating

Wet rooms can feel colder than traditional bathrooms because of the open design. Electric underfloor heating helps dry the floor faster and adds luxury.

💡 Bonus: Underfloor heating can reduce damp and mould – a common issue in compact Cheltenham homes.

5️⃣ Hire a Specialist Bathroom Fitter in Cheltenham

Installing a wet room is not a basic DIY job. It involves plumbing, flooring, tanking, and tiling – all of which must be installed to British Standards.

🧰 Choose a local bathroom fitter in Cheltenham with experience in wet rooms, not just general bathrooms.
