Wet room installation and walk-in showers in London
From the outside, wet room installation looks simple, and a walk-in shower even more so. No tray, no enclosure, just a floor that drains. What really makes it work is hidden underneath: waterproof tanking carried up the walls, a floor laid to fall towards the drain, and a gully big enough for the flow. If any of that is wrong, the leak appears two floors below, long after the tiler has left.

Waterproofing is the real work, tiling is the finish
A tanking membrane, run up the walls and sealed around every pipe that comes through, is what keeps water out of the floor and the flat underneath. Lay tiles over poor tanking and it will still leak. It just takes longer to show.
Check the floor depth first, especially in a flat
Creating a fall to the drain normally means lowering the floor, and you need enough depth in the joists or slab to do that well. In a top-floor flat with little build-up, check this at the very start, not the end.
In a flat, bring the freeholder in early
Changing the floor build-up and drainage for a wet room in a leasehold flat often needs the freeholder’s consent. It can also affect the ceiling void of the flat below. Raise it early, before the floor is opened up.
A walk-in shower and a wet room aren’t the same thing
A walk-in shower with a tray and a glass panel gives you most of the look without lowering the floor, and it’s a smaller job. If you truly need level access, a full wet room is the answer. For most other people, a walk-in tray is the better fit.
What people ask us
Will I need planning permission or building control sign-off?
You won’t need planning permission for a like-for-like bathroom. Building regulations do cover the waterproofing and drainage, and we always work to them.
Can I have a wet room in a flat, or only a house?
Flats are fine. Just check the floor depth and the freeholder’s consent early on, because either could limit what you can do before you settle on a design.
How long does a full wet room take to fit?
Usually one to two weeks, depending on how much floor forming and finishing is needed. It takes longer than a normal bathroom refit because the tanking needs time to dry at each stage.
Will it start to smell or let damp through over time?
Not if the tanking and falls are done right and left to cure before the tiles go on. When wet rooms fail, it’s usually because the drying time was rushed, not because of the idea itself.
